Instructions
- Preheat & Prep – Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch or 9x13-inch (cooking time will vary) baking dish. Can use muffin tin if wanting to make oatmeal muffins instead, here's my favorite silicone muffin pan.
- Mix Wet Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, melted butter/ghee, maple syrup (or honey, if using), and vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients – Add rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and chia seeds (if using) to the wet mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Bake – Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool & Serve – Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
