Notes

Note: the calorie count does not include toppings.

Try other toppings

You can choose to exclude toppings altogether, or use other toppings if you prefer. I suggest trying walnuts, almonds, sunflower seeds, nut butters, banana, apples, cinnamon, roasted pumpkin or plums.

Make it vegan and dairy-free

Remember to use a dairy free milk if you want to make vegan oats. I always make my oats with almond milk, as that's my personal favorite, but this recipe can be made with oat milk, soy milk, or any other plant based milk, as well as cow's milk.
