What oats are best for Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal?
When gathering up your ingredients for this baked oatmeal, you might be wondering what kind of oats would work best. I LOVE both rolled oats and steel cut oats, but they are very different. Steel cut oats do not cook as quickly or absorb as much liquid as rolled oats, so for this recipe I recommend using rolled oats! They bake so well and get nice and soft in this baked oatmeal.
Does Baked Oatmeal need to be refrigerated?
Baked Oatmeal can be baked and sit on the counter for up to 2 days. If you want it to last longer, however, you can pop it in the fridge and it’ll keep for about 3-4 days. It’s a great make ahead breakfast that you can enjoy all week long!
