Cooking the oatmeal takes about 5-7 minutes on low heat after bringing the almond milk and oats to a gentle boil.

What is the best way to store leftovers of the oatmeal bowl?

Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave with a splash of almond milk to restore creaminess.

Can I use different kinds of milk or nut butter?

How can I adjust the sweetness of the oatmeal?
