vegan baked oatmeal

Prior to moving to BC, my husband and I lived and traveled around Canada and the US in a large motorhome. It was a time we really enjoyed and because our motorhome was built in Amish country in Indiana, we spent a significant amount of time there when we first took possession of our “home”. Being a new vehicle there were little bugs that needed to be repaired at the factory under warranty.

 

As a result of “living” in Indiana, we became very familiar with certain foods that we ate frequently, one being baked oatmeal, Amish style. It took some hunting but I was able to get the recipe for the real Amish version and it was delicious. Of course, that was when we were vegetarian so the fact that it had eggs, milk, and butter in it wasn’t an issue. Now it is so I decided to recreate and modify it to suit our current healthier lifestyle. This vegan baked oatmeal is a great breakfast treat and can be stored in the fridge for up to a week. I am sure it can also be frozen.
