Ingredients & Substitutions
Feel free to swap out the rolled oats for steel-cut oats if you want a chewier texture, but just remember to adjust the cooking time! And if you want it creamier, using plant-based oat milk instead of water is key—almond or oat oat milk are my favorites. You can really get creative with toppings—think nut vegan butter, shredded coconut, or even a dollop of vegan yogurt.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to double the recipe and keep some in the fridge for a quick breakfast on busy mornings. Just reheat with a splash of plant oat milk.
- •Experiment with spices! A pinch of nutmeg or ginger can add a lovely twist to your oatmeal.
Recipe Variations

Storage & Freezing
If you have leftovers, let the oatmeal cool, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just reheat it with a splash of water or oat milk to bring it back to life!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this oatmeal overnight?
Absolutely! Just soak the oats in your plant oat milk overnight in the fridge and cook them in the morning. It saves time and is just as delicious.
