FAQ

Can I use light coconut milk?

Yes, but the texture will be thinner. Adjust the cooking time slightly to allow the oats to absorb the liquid fully.

Is this suitable for meal prep?

Absolutely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Add a splash of water when reheating, as the oats will thicken in the fridge.

What if I don't have maple syrup?

Honey, agave nectar, or even a mashed banana works perfectly as a natural sweetener.
