FAQS

What kind of oats do I use?

I use rolled oats since they have a chewier texture than quick or instant oats. Steel cut will not work with this recipe.

Can I make these vegan?

You can easily make these vegan by swapping out the yogurt for a non-dairy alternative or leaving out yogurt all together. Double the amount of almond milk used if not using any yogurt. You can also add a teaspoon of chia seeds to help make them thicker, too.

Are these gluten-free?

While oats do not contain any gluten, they can be cross-contaminated during processing. If needed, use certified gluten-free oats to make this completely gluten-free.
