Healthy Baked Oatmeal Variations
Make it Vegan: Use almond milk, maple syrup, substitute coconut oil in place of the butter, and substitute a flax egg in place of the egg.
Fruit: You can use 1 ½ cups of your favorite fruit/fruit combination. It's recommended that you cut them up into bite sized pieces. This could be diced apples and pears, peaches and cherries (pits removed), strawberry and banana, etc. Get creative!
Nuts: Add in ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts. Even sliced almonds would be great!
