Notes

BAKING TIME – In these photos I used a 9″ pie plate and my baking time was 35 minutes. If you use a slightly larger dish, watch baking time after 25-30 minutes.

VEGAN – You can use 2 flaxseed eggs <– recipe linked, to make this recipe vegan. And increase the baking powder to 1.5 teaspoons. Or if you can tolerate bananas, I recommend this recipe.

NO OIL – You can also sub the oil with peanut butter, almond butter or cashew butter if you’d like. 

FROZEN BLUEBERRIES – If using frozen blueberries, you may need to increase the baking time by a few minutes.

STORAGE – Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

FREEZE – Cool, then cut into oatmeal squares. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour. Transfer to a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 1 month.

REHEAT – Reheat individual squares in the toaster oven for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed through. Add 1-2 minutes to the bake time if reheating from frozen.
