We do not eat eggs. So what can be used as a replacement?
Hi Desha,
You may use silken tofu in place of eggs which will also work for this recipe. Hope this helps.
Whoa! I’ve never tried eggs/oatmeal together before…I’m intrigued 🙂 I do love eggs, oatmeal, and broccoli though. Pinned!
Can I use this mixture to make a pancake for my LO to save time on baking?
You may give that a try. Just make sure to not over cook since if you cook it in a griddle/pan it will cook very fast. Hope your family enjoys this recipe. 🙂
Hi Gunjan,
My daughter is 3yr old. Can we incorporate oats in to her diet? I liked this recipe but not sure if i can offer this to my daughter.
Hi Priya,
Thanks for showing interest in my blog and this recipe. My daughter is also 3 years old and happily eats oats. If your daughter is free from any allergy like gluten allergy or dairy allergy or eggs allergy then go ahead and try this recipe. Just a heads up its not a sweet oatmeal. It has a salty and smooth taste. Hope you like it.
Thanks for the reply. Will definitely try this. Yeah..she do not have any of the mentioned allergies.
