FAQs

Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats?

Instant oats can become too mushy when soaked overnight. Rolled oats maintain a better texture and are recommended for this recipe.

Is it necessary to use Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein, but you can substitute with any yogurt or omit it for a lighter version.
