Notes
Use certified gluten-free oats to make this recipe gluten-free.
Swap the apple with pear or banana slices for variety.
Stir in chia seeds or flaxseed for extra nutrition.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat with a splash of almond milk.
Quick oats can be used but will cook faster and yield a softer texture.
