Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly oil a 9-x-9-inch pan or 2-quart baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the oats, salt, baking powder, and spices and flavorings for your chosen flavor. In a medium bowl, combine the milk and flaxseeds; allow the mixture to sit until it thickens, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the wet ingredients for your chosen flavor to the milk mixture, then pour the wet mixture over the oat mixture. Add the mix-ins and stir until combined. Transfer to the prepared baking pan and sprinkle with toppings.
  4. Bake until bubbling around the edges and set in the middle, about 40 minutes. Let cool on a rack for at least five minutes before serving.
  5. If desired, cool completely and store, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for up to a week.
