Notes
Keeps on the counter for one day. Transfer to refrigerator for up to 5 days.
* If you don’t have both large oats and quick oats I’m sure you could probably use 1-1/2 cups of the same. I like adding both for texture. If you don’t have oat flour, use a coffee or spice grinder to transform the oats into a fine flour.
** I use an aluminum-free, corn-free, gluten-free baking powder and baking soda.
*** Starters prepared with other gluten-free flours like millet, sorghum, or buckwheat might work equally well.
**** Coconut oil is great to oil your dish. Make sure your baking dish is oven safe.
