Directions:

    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F). Grease a baking dish with avocado oil.
    2. Prepare the Oat Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the oatmeal and warm milk. Let it sit for a few minutes to soften the oats.

  1. Cool and Serve: Let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
