Cooking Tips
- This recipe was intentionally dairy-free, but you can use your liquid base of choice. Regular dairy milk is perfectly suitable for this recipe, as are other nut-based milks
- I chose honey as the sweetener in this recipe as I find it works well with the spices used, however maple syrup and agave or even brown sugar are great substitutes.
- Feel free to use your favorite jam of choice.
- I prefer creamy peanut butter in this recipe

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can this oatmeal be heated?
Yes, if you must! Microwave the bowl for about 45 seconds on medium power.
Can I Substitute Coconut Milk for Almond Milk?
Certainly! I used coconut milk simply because I really wanted that coconut flavor. However almond milk works fine in keeping this a vegan oatmeal option. You can always add more coconut flakes for that coconut flavor.
Are Oats gluten-free?
Not always, partially because in some cases the facilities where they are processed produce other ingredients that aren't gluten free. It's always best to check the label.
Can you use quick oats?
Quick oats can be used, but I'm not a fan of the texture which is very soft, too soft for me.
Can you use steel-cut oats?
Steel-cut oats will work but require a bit more thought. You'll definitely need to increase amount of liquid. You'll also possibly need to account for a bit more time as in like 2-3 hours so adjust your cooking start time accordingly.
