Which oats are best for baking?

Regular rolled oats are best for baking. We reccomend them for baked oatmeal over quick oats and steel-cut oats.

Can quick oats replace old fashioned oats in baking?

No. Quick oats are very thin and won’t hold up in the baking process. Rolled oats are the oats that work best in baked goods and baked oatmeal.

Can you freeze baked oatmeal?

Make Ahead Baked Oatmeal with apples is make ahead in two ways. It can be prepared in the casserole dish the night before and baked in the morning. It can also be wrapped in foil and frozen up to 3 months. When freezing, it can be frozen after baking, but needs to be cooled first. It can also be prepared, not baked, and frozen. Then, reheat as directed in the recipe, but add 15 minutes of cook time.

Just remember to label it or you might end up with a mystery meal in your freezer.

I like to double or even triple this recipe when I make it so the extras can go directly in the freezer.
