I was accused of being wrong because I left a review and didn\u2019t make the exact recipe, I\u2019d made a similar one. SO-as to the EXACT recipe; Adding an extra egg ups the protein and reducing the sugar, replacing it with Splenda cuts the calories and makes it a bit more friendly to my Hypoglycemia. Sugar Free syrup works well too. <\/p>
The oil isn\u2019t necessary because the pan can be sprayed with cooking spray. Chopped dates and walnuts or pecans add extra deliciousness. <\/p>
Chilling the pan overnight again firms it up and makes pretty good French Toast. <\/p>
I hope this satisfies everyone that I have an accurate review. <\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2021-10-30","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"CyanSnow"},"reviewBody":"I\u2019ve tried a few baked oatmeal recipes, with various ratios to milk and oatmeal.

My family absolutely loved this recipe. I tried adding a cup of different fruit (e.g. raspberries, strawberries, etc) that were frozen and let them sit in the mix overnight. It was delicious.

I loved it! I omitted the oil and in place of it I added unsweetened applesauce. Also doubled the cinnamon (I love cinnamon), and added pecans rather than almonds (didn't have any on hand).

Delicious! Next time I will use less brown sugar and add a diced apple. The recipe says it is 8 servings, but we each ate 1\/4 of the pan! My husband wanted more.

I just made and ate this. It\u2019s delicious. Definitely 5 stars. . I used steel cut oats and fresh blueberries. No cherries.
