FAQ
How many servings does this oat skillet make?
It makes two portions.
How long does the oat skillet take to bake?
Bake it at 180°C (350°F) for 12 to 15 minutes, after cooking the edges on the stovetop for 2 to 3 minutes.
How do I know when it is done?
The centre should be set and the top lightly golden. Avoid overbaking so it does not become dry.
Can I use frozen berries?
Yes. Add them directly from frozen, although the skillet may need a few extra minutes in the oven.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes. Use an unsweetened plant-based milk and a dairy-free butter alternative.
Can I make this oat skillet gluten-free?
Yes. Use oats specifically labelled gluten-free, since regular oats can be exposed to gluten during processing.
Can I replace the egg?
You can try a suitable egg replacement, but the texture may be softer and the baking time may vary.
Should I use ground or whole flaxseed?
Ground flaxseed blends more evenly into the mixture, while whole flaxseed gives a more textured result.
Can I prepare the mixture ahead of time?
Yes. Cover and refrigerate the unbaked mixture for up to 24 hours, then stir it before adding it to the skillet.
