- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the mixture looks set and a toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Top with your choice of peanut butter, whipped cream, maple syrup, or nuts if desired. Enjoy warm.
Notes

- Use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe vegan-friendly.
- For a nuttier flavor, try adding chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter before baking.
