Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal is done?

The edges should be lightly golden and the center should look set with no liquid wobble. A knife inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs rather than wet batter; let the oatmeal rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Can Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal be prepared ahead?

Yes. Bake it, cool it, and refrigerate it for up to 4 days. You can also measure the dry ingredients and whisk the wet ingredients separately the night before, then combine them with the fruit and bake in the morning.

Can Strawberry Banana Baked Oatmeal be frozen?

Yes. Cool it completely, cut it into portions, wrap them airtight, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes, but thaw and drain them well before folding them into the oat mixture so excess liquid does not make the center watery.
