What is tahini? 

Tahini is a paste made from toasted sesame seeds and is considered a staple in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes. It's creamy and smooth with a deep nutty flavor, much like peanut or cashew butter. If tahini is not available, any nut butter can be substituted in its place—but give it a try!

How can baked oatmeal be served? 

Walnut brownie baked oatmeal is best served with softly whipped cream and fresh raspberries, but it can also be personalized to whatever is in stock in the fridge. Pour some whole milk or half-and-half over a warm scoop, or top with butter and maple syrup for extra sweetness. 

How should baked oatmeal be stored? 

Baked oatmeal is a great secret weapon when it comes to meal prepping. Once cooled, the oatmeal can be sliced and stored in an airtight container to freeze or keep refrigerated for up to five days. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast idea!
