Variations:

Add-ins: Stir in dark chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit before baking.

FAQ:

Can I use quick oats or rolled oats?
– Yes, either works. Rolled oats give a heartier texture.

Can I make this without an egg?
– Yes! Substitute with a flax egg or skip it for a more pudding-like texture.

Can I double the recipe?
– Absolutely. Just bake in a larger dish and increase the baking time by a few minutes.

What size baking dish should I use?
– A single-serving ramekin or small loaf pan (4×4 or similar) works perfectly.
