Steel Cut oats are not recommended for this recipe. Use Old Fashioned or Rolled Oats for best results!
Baked oatmeal may be frozen. Cut into squares, individually wrap and place in an airtight container for up to three months. When ready to eat, let thaw overnight on countertop or in refrigerator. Wrapped squares can be reheated in the microwave.
3/4 cup of brown sugar may be used as a substitute for pure maple syrup. If using brown sugar, the cook time may be less than 40 minutes. Check at 30 minutes.
Canola or vegetable oil may be used as a substitute for coconut oil.
