Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, oats store well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Simply add a splash of water when reheating.

Are frozen blueberries okay?

Frozen berries work beautifully. Add them frozen; they will cook down faster than fresh ones.

Is this gluten-free?

It is, provided you ensure your rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
