Pour milk substitute over mixture and whisk until incorporated.
Line two 12-cup muffin pans with paper liners and spray liners generously with cooking spray. Distribute oatmeal mixture evenly into muffin cups, about 1/4 cup each. OR do what I did and oil 8 ounce wide mouth canning jars. Put 1/2 cup mixture into each jar. Sprinkle desired toppings over the muffin cups if using.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
Remove from oven and cool in pan on wire rack for a few minutes before transferring to cool completely on wire rack. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container or zip-top bag and freeze. To reheat, microwave on high for 45-60 seconds.
