Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 5 days in the fridge.
- Make Ahead Tips: You can make the oatmeal on the stovetop in advance. To reheat, simply add a splash of milk or water and microwave for 1 minute.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However you can add up to 1 cup of milk to the water for a more creamy consistency.
- * Please note the nutrition label does not include any toppings.
