FAQS

Can I use instant oats instead of old-fashioned oats?

While you can use instant oats, the texture may be slightly different. Old-fashioned oats provide a heartier and more satisfying texture in baked oats.

What can I substitute for peppermint extract if I don't have any?

If you don’t have peppermint extract, you can use a few drops of vanilla extract for a different flavor profile, or skip the extract altogether if you prefer plain chocolate oats.C

Can I prep these oats the night before and bake them in the morning?

Yes, you can prepare the oats the night before, cover them and put them in the refrigerator, and then bake them in the morning!
