Frequently Asked Questions:

How do you make your own Pumpkin Purée?

This is super easy to make and it’s perfect if you like me, can’t easily find pumpkin purée at the shop. Get a butternut squash, wash and place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, bake in the oven at 180ºC for 45 minutes or until when you insert a knife it goes in easily. Once it has cooled down, peel it, and mash it with a fork to make the purée.

Can I make this recipe vegan?

I haven’t tried it, but if you want to make this recipe vegan, you could substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg) and use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk.

How should I store the baked oats?

Store the baked oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Can I use a different type of nut instead of almonds?

Yes, you can substitute the ground almonds with any other nut flour, such as hazelnut or walnut. The flaked almonds on top can also be replaced with your preferred nuts or seeds.

Can I skip the coconut oil?

If you prefer not to use coconut oil, you can substitute it with melted butter, olive oil, or even applesauce for a lower-fat option.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes! To make the recipe gluten-free, be sure to use certified gluten-free oats. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
