Can I use steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats?

I've tried - and learned the hard way Steel-cut oats stay too chewy unless you soak them overnight first. Stick with old-fashioned rolled oats for that perfect cake-like texture we love.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes - just make sure your oats are certified gluten-free Regular oats are naturally gluten-free but can get cross-contaminated during processing. My celiac friends swear by Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats.

Can I make baked oats ahead?

Absolutely, Blend the batter the night before, pour into your dish, cover and refrigerate. In the morning, just pop it straight into a cold oven, then turn it on - the gradual heating prevents cracking.

Why did mine turn out dry?

Oh no, Usually means it baked too long or your oven runs hot. Try reducing the time by 3-5 minutes next time, or add an extra tablespoon of milk to the batter.
