Notes
Substitutions
You can use any type of oats here: rolled oats (also called old fashioned) or quick oats.
You can swap oat milk for almond milk, organic soy milk, or cashew milk. Cow's milk works fine here too. Coconut milk won't work well here.
You can substitute hemp seeds with chia seeds of flax seeds.
For a GLUTEN-FREE version, make sure you use certified gluten-free oats. Keep cooked oatmeal covered in the refrigerator and use it within 24 hours. As a measure, I used US cup (240ml). Nutritional Disclaimer
