Notes
You can scale this recipe up to make more servings. For each additional serving, it will take a few more minutes to cook (when I double it, I cook the oats for 10 minutes).
If you scale this recipe up, you can store extra servings in the refrigerator for several days. Keep them in airtight containers and warm them up in the microwave for easy weekday breakfasts.
You can add other mix ins like fresh berries or other fruit that you like. Sometimes I add a spoonful of almond butter or peanut butter to change it up.
