Chef's Notes
Substituting steel-cut oats for rolled oats Since they’re not steamed and rolled first, steel-cut oats may need a longer time to absorb the milk compared to rolled oats. We recommend soaking steel-cut oats for at least 8–10 hours or longer. Taste them to see if they’re tender and chewy enough to your liking. If not let them sit longer.
Nut-Free Substitute 1 cup diced pineapple for the walnuts.
Storage Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Add More Nutrients Add 1 Tbsp chia seeds to the oatmeal mixture. (You may need to increase the amount of plant-based milk by ½ a cup.)
