FAQs
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, quick oats can be used, but the texture will be softer and may become mushy. Rolled oats are preferred for a creamier, chewier consistency.
Is it possible to prepare a larger batch?
Absolutely! Multiply the ingredients accordingly and store in individual jars or containers for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts throughout the week.
