FAQs

Can I use a different type of milk?

Yes, you can substitute almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk of your choice without affecting the texture.

Do I need to soak the oats overnight?

Soaking overnight softens the oats and allows the flavors to meld, resulting in a creamy texture. If short on time, soaking for at least 4 hours is recommended.
