      1. Sonja, I’ve made this recipe for years and I use organic or gluten free rolled oats and the texture is wonderful 🙂

    1. Sarah – I am not sure if they would retain their mini meatloaf shape in the slow cooker and not become overly dry. If you do give it a shot let us know!

  3. We might be a little old fashioned but we don’t have a microwave. What is the best way to reheat in the oven or stovetop?

    1. I would heat these in the oven in that case and would do so for 10-15 minutes. I don’t know for sure though as we haven’t tested that method.
