What You'll Need

Ingredients

• Old Fashioned Oats.
• Milk of choice. I used a creamy oat milk but you can use any milk you want.
• Sugars. I chose a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar, but I've also used agave and maple syrup instead of the brown sugar before.
• Flax Eggs. This recipe is egg-free, but two eggs could be used in place of the ground flax and water.
• Blueberries.
• Walnuts.
• Cinnamon.
• Vanilla.
• Baking Powder. This lightens up the oats so they're not as dense. Gluten free may be used.
• Table salt.

Substitutions and Variations

• This is an egg-free recipe using flax "eggs" instead, but 2 eggs or ½ cup liquid egg whites can be substituted for the flax egg (2 tablespoons of ground flax seed meal and 6 tablespoons of water, mentioned in the ingredients above). If you use real egg, increase the milk by ¼ cup.
• Dairy or plant-based milk may be used. The creamier it is the thicker the oats will be. I used creamy oat milk.
• Maple syrup or agave may be substituted for the granulated sugar. 
• A mixture of fresh berries, such as blackberries, raspberries, etc., may be used. I have not tested frozen berries; they could technically be used, but they will add to the moisture and increase baking time.
• Any favorite nut can be substituted, but I like walnuts, pecans, or almonds. You could also omit the nuts altogether.

5. Set oven to broil. Broil 4 inches from the heat until sugar dissolves, bubbles, and browns slightly.
