Chef's Tips

For a creamier texture, use a higher ratio of milk to oats.

If the oats are too thick in the morning, add a splash of milk to thin them out.

Customize your oats with other toppings like berries, nuts, seeds, or a dollop of yogurt.

Toast a larger batch of pecans and store them in an airtight container for future use.

Warm the oats slightly in the microwave for a cozy breakfast on a cold day.
