- Make sure to keep the oats in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight. These oats need extra time to absorb milk to become soft and tender.
- If you don't have maple syrup as a sweetener, you can use honey or Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener. Agave will work well too for a vegan option.
- Rolled oats are best for this recipe as they tend to be a bit more tender. We have not tried Instant Oats for this recipe. You may use instant oats but the texture will vary.
- If you are maintaining a gluten-free diet, then make sure the oats have not been cross-contaminated with gluten. Use gluten-free oats.
- For a vegan option, use non-dairy milk, non-dairy yogurt, and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- You may add some fruits like banana, strawberry, or blueberries
