Can I make this oatmeal ahead?

I don't recommend making the batter in advance but you can bake the oatmeal the night before. It keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. In the morning, you can just warm it up in the oven and top with your favorite toppings.

The recipe is dairy-free and gluten-free but you can also make it fully vegan by using a flax egg or other egg alternative instead of regular eggs.
