Chef's Note
For the best texture, use old-fashioned rolled oats rather than quick oats or steel-cut oats. To add variety, try rotating seasonal fruits like berries in summer or pears in fall. You can also toast the nuts before adding them for enhanced flavor. These oats will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them perfect for meal prep.
