Notes

  1. Milk Selection: This recipe uses regular milk for creaminess, but feel free to substitute with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
  2. Sweetness Level: Adjust the maple syrup to your taste; honey or agave nectar can also be used as alternatives.
  3. Texture: For softer oats, increase the natural pressure release time. For firmer oats, decrease the NPR time slightly.
  4. Add-ins: This recipe is versatile! Consider adding dried fruits, chia seeds, or flaxseeds for added flavor and nutrition.
  5. Reheat: Leftover oats can thicken in the fridge. When reheating, simply add a splash of milk or water to bring them back to your desired consistency.
