Notes
For best results, use rolled oats (not quick oats). Stir the oats again about 30 minutes after mixing if possible. Oats keep in the fridge for up to 5 days. For a vegan version, use plant-based milk, dairy-free yogurt, and maple syrup. For a chocolate peanut butter version, add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
