Notes

  • You can make this recipe in the microwave, or on the stovetop, the method for both are included.
  • Feel free to sub almond milk for regular milk, or the milk of your choice. There will be an adjustment in macros if you make those changes.
  • The type of oats doesn’t matter, but using plain oats is important. Packaged oats often have a great deal of sugar.
