What oats are best for baking?

I used rolled oats in this baked oatmeal, and I find them the best for baking. They are whole, flatten oats that have a nice chewy texture. Quick oats are are similar, but they are cut into smaller pieces, so their texture is more delicate when baked. Old fashioned oats will result in a heartier texture.

Why You Should Meal-Prep This Recipe

This recipe is so perfect for make ahead breakfasts. The leftovers keep for several days in the refrigerator for easy to grab breakfasts throughout the week. Simply reheat a portion in the oven or microwave with a splash of milk.
