Notes
Oats – Use rolled oats only for the right texture. Avoid quick oats or steel-cut oats.
Milk – Almond, oat, soy, or coconut milk can all be used as alternatives.
Sweetener – Maple syrup provides the best flavor but honey or agave syrup also work.
Flaxseed – Can be replaced with chia seeds or 1 egg if not vegan.
Oil – Substitute coconut oil with avocado oil or melted unsalted butter.
Raisins – You can replace them with dried cranberries, dates, or chopped nuts.
Spices – Add nutmeg, ginger, or apple pie spice for a warmer flavor.
Storage – Keep in fridge for 4 days or freeze portions up to 2 months.
