Notes
Tip: Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less maple syrup. Enjoy your oatmeal paradise bowls warm or chilled!
For a vegan option, ensure to use maple syrup or agave instead of honey for sweetness. You can also experiment with different nuts and fruits based on what you have on hand.
Storage tip: This oatmeal can be made in batches and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of coconut milk for the best texture.
