Notes

  • If your oats are too thick when you're ready to eat them, simply stir in a little more kefir.

Ingredient Substitutions

  • Leave out any of the toppings (pecans, raisins, etc.) that you don't care for.
  • Use vanilla kefir in place of plain if you'd like.
  • If you don't have kefir, use 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt + 1/3 cup milk of your choice.
