Put into the oven and bake for 22 minutes.

Notes
Use rolled oats, not instant, for best texture
If the batter feels too thick, add a splash more milk. It needs to be fairly thick though.
Let the oat mixture rest for 5 minutes before baking for a softer results.
Don’t over-bake - this will firm up as is cools. But every oven cooks differently, so yours might need a few minutes more or less. Use a toothpick to check that the mixture is cooked through.
