Can I freeze baked oats?

Absolutely! Slice into portions, wrap tightly in plastic, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or microwave straight from frozen (add 30 seconds).

Only if you use certified GF oats—regular oats often get cross-contaminated during processing.

Can I skip the banana?

Sure, but add 1/4 cup applesauce or pumpkin puree instead for moisture. Texture changes a bit, but still delicious!

Why did mine turn out dry?

You probably overbaked—next time check 5 minutes earlier. Different ovens run hot!
