🍋 Simply Made Suggestions & Swaps

Choose the right container. A small mason jar or covered food-storage container works well.
Make the peanut butter drizzleable. Microwave it in a small microwave-safe bowl for a few seconds, then drizzle it over the oats.
Adjust the consistency. Stir in a splash of milk before serving if the oats are thicker than you prefer.
Try another nut butter. Almond butter or cashew butter can replace the peanut butter.
Use your favorite milk. Almond, oat, soy or regular dairy milk will all work. Choose an unsweetened variety to keep the oats from becoming overly sweet.
