Notes
- Storage
- Storage
- Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Oats: Old-fashioned or rolled oats are best for this recipe because they don't take as long to cook as steel-cut oats, but they're not as mushy as quick oats.
- Milk: Use your favorite! Cow milk or nut milk, it all works. Also, you can adjust the creaminess by adjusting the milk-to-water ratio. For an ultra milky flavor and texture, use all milk to as little as 1 cup milk and 1 cup water.
- Raisins: Golden raisins are also delicious.
- Nuts: Walnuts, pecans, almonds, or even hazelnuts, they're all good!
- Maple Syrup: Honey or your other favorite natural sweetener is great.
- Adjust the Sweetness
- Adjust the Sweetness
- 2 tablespoons of maple syrup are for a medium level of sweetness. You can absolutely add more for sweeter oatmeal.
