Notes
Stick with old-fashioned rolled oats. Quick oats can get mushy and steel-cut oats need a different method and more time.
For a protein boost, stir in a spoonful of almond or peanut butter, or a tablespoon of chia or ground flax.
Fold in diced sautéed apples or raisins for extra autumn flavor.
