Alterations
Oats: For this dish, old-fashioned or rolled oats work best since they cook faster than steel-cut oats but retain their texture better than quick oats.
Choose your favorite milk! It works with nut milks or cow milks. Additionally, you may change the creaminess by changing the ratio of milk to water. Use entire milk to as little as one cup milk and one cup water for a very creamy flavor and texture. Raisins: Golden raisins are very tasty.
Nuts: Hazelnuts, pecans, almonds, and walnuts are all delicious!
Maple Syrup: You can use honey or any other natural sweetener of your choice.
Modify the Sugar Level
You need two teaspoons of maple syrup to get a medium sweetness level. If you like your oatmeal sweeter, feel free to add extra.
