Notes
Storage: Store leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk or water.
For a creamier texture, consider using almond or oat milk instead of water when cooking the oats. You can also add a scoop of nut butter for additional protein and flavor.
If you want to switch things up, try adding different toppings like fresh fruits, nuts, or even a sprinkle of granola for added crunch!
