Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use steel-cut oats?

Steel-cut oats will remain quite chewy and may not soften enough for a traditional overnight texture. Rolled or 'old-fashioned' oats are best.

How long do these keep?

Stored in an airtight container, they stay fresh for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.

Are these gluten-free?

Yes, provided you purchase certified gluten-free rolled oats.
