Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use a different type of nut butter?
Absolutely! Feel free to swap cashew butter for almond butter, peanut butter, or any other nut or seed butter of your choice. Just be mindful of potential allergies or dietary preferences. Also take into account that the flavour might not be the same, ash cashew butter resembles more the cookie dough flavour than the others.
Can I make these overnight oats ahead of time?
Yes! These overnight oats can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Simply portion them into individual jars or containers for a grab-and-go breakfast option.
Can I use a different type of milk?
Certainly! While we recommend unsweetened oat milk for its mild flavour, you can use any milk of your choice, such as almond milk, soy milk, or dairy milk, depending on your preference or dietary needs.
Can I adjust the sweetness level of the oats?
Of course! Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup according to your taste preferences. You can also replace the maple syrup with your favourite sweetener.
