❓ Q & A (Common Questions)
Q: Can I prepare this ahead of time?
A: Yes! You can prepare the oats the night before and store them in the fridge. Just assemble the toppings right before eating.
Q: Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
A: Yes, you can. Just reduce the cooking time to 1–2 minutes, as quick oats cook faster than rolled oats.
Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Yes, just use plant-based yogurt and your choice of plant-based milk (like almond, oat, or soy milk).
Q: How do I make this gluten-free?
A: Make sure to use certified gluten-free oats for the base, and double-check that your nut butter and yogurt are also gluten-free.
Q: Can I switch up the toppings?
A: Definitely! You can use any fruit, nuts, or seeds you prefer. Try adding dried fruit, coconut flakes, or even granola for crunch.
