Have you mixed this the night before and then baked in the morning?

Yes, you can prepare ahead of time. Just cover and refrigerate. In the morning you will want to remove the oatmeal from the refrigerator while the oven preheats. Give it a good stir. You may need to cook it slightly longer.

I just made these in muffin tins with different mix-ins: cocoa powder/PB2/instant espresso powder; frozen raspberries & craisins and pecans. Can’t wait to rotate flavors throughout the week. Will pair with yogurt and additional toppings. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

This was very good and easy. I simplified it by mixing the nuts with the other ingredients. I also chunked in a handful of butterscotch chips and omitted the syrup.

Can this be made ahead to freeze for later?

Yes! Allow it to cool and then either cut into individual portions and wrap separately or place whole into a freezer bag. Let it thaw out in the refrigerator overnight then reheat.
