Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use rolled oats instead?

Yes, but reduce the cooking time to 7–10 minutes as they are thinner and cook much faster.

How do I store leftovers?

Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add a splash of water when reheating.

Are these oats gluten-free?

Oats are naturally gluten-free, but check the label to ensure they were processed in a certified gluten-free facility.
