Instructions

Heat oven to 350°F (180°C) and fold a 7 x 7 inch (15 x15 cm) brownie pan with parchment paper.
Prepare the vegetables. Wash both mushrooms and tomatoes, then cut them. If desired, you can add other veggies like sautéed spinach or sliced onion.

Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the savory oatmeal is ready. Do not overcook it, or it may get hard.
