FAQs

Can I make these oats dairy-free?
Yes! Use almond, oat, or soy milk and a dairy-free yogurt alternative.

Can I use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of puree?
It’s better to use plain pumpkin puree; pie filling contains extra sugar and spices, which can alter the flavor.

Can I adjust the consistency?
Yes. Add more milk in the morning if you prefer creamier oats or less for thicker oats.

Can I add protein powder?
Absolutely! Stir in a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder for an extra protein boost.
