Baked Porridge

I tried out another recipe from La Dolce Vegan!: Vegan Livin’ Made Easy, Baked Aporridgy on page 49. I adapted it (as usual) so my version is somewhat different. While it tasted overall OK, I probably won’t make it again as it was a bit too thin/soft for how we like oatmeal. It did though have a nice taste and if one doesn’t go for a ‘rustic’ thick oatmeal they would love this.
