Notes

Feel free to substitute quick-cooking oats for rolled oats, the texture may differ slightly. For a dairy-free option, use coconut oil and plant-based milk. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or sea salt on top before chilling for an extra flavor boost. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months, ensuring they are well wrapped.
