Notes
You can make baked oatmeal ahead of time and refrigerate it for 2 to 3 days. Simply reheat in a conventional oven or microwave before serving. Experiment with different toppings to suit you and your family's preferences.
If you want to vary the ingredients and replace the 2 eggs with something other than applesauce, mix 2 tablespoons of ground flax or chia seeds with 6 tablespoons of water. Let the mixture sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes gelatinous. This mixture will replace the 2 eggs.
