Why You’ll Love Vegan Brownie Baked Oatmeal
- No Mushy Texture – One of the biggest complaints about oatmeal is that the texture is mushy; however, with baked oatmeal, that’s not a concern. Baking allows for it to crisp up on the tops and edges and perfect cook the oatmeal itself. If you love oatmeal cookies, you’ll love baked oatmeal as well.
- Lots of Flavor – Most of the time, we hear that people aren’t fans of oatmeal because they lack flavor and they aren’t sure how to fix that. This vegan banana bread baked oatmeal has all the flavor you could want inside of it! Thanks to the banana, nuts, and optional chocolate chips, you have a really great balance of flavor that you’ll love.
