Additional tips
- Sweetness Level: Adjust the sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup in the morning if desired.
- Add Crunch: Top with nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, for an added crunch and extra protein.
- Spice It Up: For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice to the oats mixture.
- Temperature Preference: If you prefer warm oats, you can microwave the entire mixture (including the cooked apples) for 30-60 seconds before serving.
