Baking with Oatmeal
More things you can do with oatmeal.
It’s so versatile! The recipes below include those that call for oat flour,
which can simply be made by pulsing rolled oats in a food processor. Each
serves 1. Most of them require bananas, make sure they're spotty-ripe! J

These are more of a cake-y than
crumbly crust. Fill them with whatever you’d like! Or flatten them and make it
into a breakfast pizza J Seen here are my Mini Strawberry
Tofu Tarts. One is filled with rich carob tofu mousse, and the other is filled
with vanilla tofu mousse. Both are topped with strawberry slices, raw tahini, a
raspberry and cacao nibs/hemp hearts.
