152g water (Brita filtered water)

Scent:
28g lavender fragrance oil (CandleScience)

Texture:

32g oatmeal

Notes:
- combined at 45C
- used blender at lowest setting, increments of 10s until trace, took about 30s total
- added texture, fragrance oil, and superfatting oil
- blended in 10s increments for an additional 30s until pudding-like consistency
- cast in saran wrap lined box
- baked at 65-70C for an hour, then let cool in oven for 12h
