Recipe Tips:
If you're not egg free you can replace the chia seeds and water with 8 eggs.
Top with fresh fruit, peanut butter, brown sugar, or melted butter.
If you're doubling the recipe you will need to cook it in separate batches.
Baking times can vary depending on your oven and the size of your pan. You'll know your oats are done when the center is dry and springs back when you touch it.
