Is this oats bake freezer-friendly?

Absolutely! Let it cool completely, then slice into portions before freezing. They’ll keep for 2 months—just pop a piece in the microwave for 1-2 minutes straight from frozen (add a splash of milk to revive the creaminess). My freezer always has a batch ready for rushed mornings.

Can I make it dairy-free/vegan?

Easily! Any plant-based milk works great—I’m partial to almond or oat milk here. Swap honey for maple syrup, and you’ve got a fully vegan breakfast. The banana does all the binding work eggs normally would.

Why does mine come out dry sometimes?

Two likely culprits: overbaking (check at 25 minutes!) or old oats soaking up too much liquid. If your oats have been in the pantry awhile, add an extra 2-3 tablespoons of milk to the mix.
