Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe

• Blend until smooth: The finer you blend the oats, the more cake-like and fluffy your baked oats will turn out.
• Choose ripe mango: Sweeter, juicier mangoes bring out the natural tropical flavor and reduce the need for extra sweetener.
• Play with toppings: Sprinkle coconut flakes for a tropical flair, drizzle honey for extra sweetness, or add pistachios for crunch.
