Notes
[‘Rolled oats work best for a creamy texture; avoid quick oats or steel-cut oats.’, ‘Adjust sweetness by using honey or agave instead of maple syrup.’, ‘Customize toppings with fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, or granola.’, ‘For a dairy-free version, use plant-based milk and yogurt.’, ‘Oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.’]
