Notes
My neighbor and friend, Heather, turned me on to baked oats. They are such a healthy alternative to breakfast pastries. These are wonderful with coffee, warm or cold. Sometimes I warm them up, add a scoop of Greek yogurt and a scoop of my nutty granola for breakfast. Also great as a healthy sweet snack anytime.
This recipe is easy to "veganize" as you can see from the ingredient notes.
