Stewart’s Secret: Add a tablespoon of almond butter right before serving. The extra healthy fats and protein make the texture even creamier and help you stay full longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use steel-cut oats?

I recommend rolled oats for this recipe. Steel-cut oats remain quite chewy and do not soften as well in cold liquid.

How long will they stay fresh?

These oats are best enjoyed within 3 days. Keep them tightly sealed in the refrigerator.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Absolutely. This recipe uses plant-based almond milk, making it naturally dairy-free and vegan.
