Notes

• Rolled oats – Use any type of oats. Quick oats will give the baked oatmeal a finer, rice-like texture.
• Taro or Malanga – You can use either taro or malanga interchangeably. The small-sized, hairy malanga is often easier to find at local supermarkets. Make sure to cook these roots thoroughly, as they are toxic when raw. For how to boil or instant pot taro/malanga, visit this link.
