Swaps or Alternatives
Unsweetened almond milk can be replaced with any other type you prefer or have on hand. If you don’t have egg whites or you would like to up the healthy fat content of your baked oatmeal meal prep, you can swap a whole egg for the egg whites.
You can easily make this recipe in any flavor you like. I also like to make this with frozen berries in place of chocolate chips. Lastly, feel free to omit the Greek Yogurt or use any flavor or variety of yogurt that you like.
Quick Tip
Make sure to melt your coconut oil a tad before adding it to your mixture to ensure that it mixes in smoothly and doesn’t leave greedy clumps. If you want to make this a double batch, swap your 8×8 pan for a 9×13 pan.
