Vegan Harvest Baked Oatmeal

A vegan take on a baked oatmeal recipe I came up with in late October, I took out the eggs and swapped in flaxseed meal, used raisins (Costco lately has had some very lovely organic ones!) and used a 1/3 less sugar in my efforts to make our baked oatmeal healthier, slowly but surely! I might add that the flaxseed meal works well, you won’t miss the eggs at all!ke
