Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

You can, but the texture won't be as lovely - quick oats tend to get mushy faster. If you must use them, reduce the cooking time by about 2 minutes and keep a close eye on them. But trust me, rolled oats are worth the extra few minutes!

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, if you use certified gluten-free oats! Regular oats are often processed in facilities with wheat, so check the label if you're sensitive. All other ingredients are naturally gluten-free.

Can I make this overnight oats style?

Absolutely! Mix everything except the sweetener in a jar before bed. The next morning, you'll have perfectly softened oats with an amazing ginger kick. Just stir in your honey or maple syrup right before eating.

How spicy does the ginger make it?

Start with 1 teaspoon - you can always add more! The ginger mellows slightly as it cooks. For extra zing, I sometimes add an extra pinch right at the end.
