Frequently Asked Questions
Is the coffee flavor really strong?
No! Since we only use 1/2 cup of coffee, we get all the pumpkin spice latte flavors and extra caffeine boost without the bitter taste.
Can I use decaf coffee?
Yes! Use decaf, cold brew, or regular coffee. I used my Nespresso, but black coffee, drip coffee, and a Keurig will work too.
Can I make these baked oats vegan?
Yes! All you need to do is substitute the two eggs with two flax eggs. A flax egg is 2 Tablespoons of ground flax meal mixed with 5 Tablespoons of warm water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, and then proceed with the recipe.
Are these gluten free?
Yup! If you use gluten-free certified oats, then this recipe is 100% gluten free.
Can I use quick oats?
Yes! You can use quick oats, but remember that the texture will be softer than usual. That is why I always recommend using old fashion rolled oats. Don’t use steel cut oats!
Can I freeze baked oatmeal?
Yes! Freezing baked oatmeal is an excellent option if you like to meal prep. Simply let the baked oatmeal cool, cut them into squares, and then place each square in a freezer safe and airtight bag. Freeze up to 3 months!
How to store and reheat leftovers
Storing leftovers is so easy! Place the baked oatmeal squares in an airtight container and store them at room temperature for 1 – 2 days or place them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When ready to enjoy, either placed in the microwave for 20 – 45 seconds to heat or in the oven at 350°F for 5 – 10 minutes.
