Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey according to your taste preference.
  • For a creamier texture, soak the oats in almond milk for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • To make the recipe vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  • Feel free to swap walnuts with other nuts like almonds or pecans depending on your preference or availability.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free as it uses gluten-free oats, but always ensure your oats are certified gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
