Notes

For a chewier texture, add an extra handful or two of rolled oats., Mix in favorite fruits such as berries, chopped apples, or dried fruit for variety., Reheat leftovers in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds or in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes., Use certified gluten-free rolled oats to make this recipe gluten-free., Quick oats can be used but will yield a softer, mushier texture compared to rolled oats.
