Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Yes, blending either works. Quick oats yield smoother batter. Avoid steel‑cut oats

Are baked oats high in protein?

Absolutely. With egg or nut‑butter and oats, you get 15–20 g protein per serving—no protein powder needed

Can I make them vegan?

Yes! Use flax egg, plant‑based milk, and skip the egg. Adjust bake time slightly until golden dome forms

How do I know when they’re done?

They’ve risen, formed a golden dome, crisp edges, and a toothpick comes out mostly clean
