How To Make Autumn Oatmeal Breakfast Bake With Figs and Persimmons [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water to make flax eggs and set aside.

- Combine milk, oil, and vanilla in a small bowl until well mixed. Mix in flax egg. Add to oat mixture and mix well. Fold in persimmons and figs and mix until just combined.

Notes
You can use regular oats if gluten isn’t a concern. You can also sub brown sugar if you don’t mind using refined sugar, along with subbing whatever milk you drink. The original recipe called for coconut oil, so that could be used instead of the grapeseed, or you can take the oil out altogether. If you do, it may not get as browned along the edges and be a tad stickier.
