Notes
- The oats have a tendency to absorb milk. Add milk gradually for the right consistency and bake it immediately or the oats may turn out to be dry.
- I have used dry oats and not-soaked ones. Soaked oats may turn out to be soggy. They easily mix up with the milk/ liquid, so I don't think soaking is necessary.
- Don't over bake or the oats would be chewy and under bake would not let milk be absorbed so they would be soggy.
- The jaggery used in this recipe is for creating a healthy recipe. Since jaggery is used, the sweetness would vary a lot. The baked oats won't be very sweet. I suggest increasing the amount of jaggery if you like more sweetness, or you may mix jaggery and white sugar.
- The other alternative to sugar is Stevia. This may help you create low calorie or slimming world baked recipe. I haven't used it so I am not sure about the results.
