Notes

What type of oats should I use for this recipe?
You should use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture. Quick oats can work, but they may become too soft, and steel-cut oats will need extra soaking time.
Can I use a different type of honey?
Yes! While Manuka honey adds a special flavor, you can use any honey you like. Just make sure it’s a good-quality honey for the best taste.
How long do I need to let the oats soak?
Let the oats soak for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best. This gives them time to absorb the liquid and soften perfectly.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Absolutely! You can use almond milk, oat milk, or any plant-based milk instead of regular milk for a dairy-free version.
