- Use rolled oats instead of quick oats for the best texture.
- Add more milk in the morning if the oats are too thick.
- Use fresh lemon zest for the strongest flavor.
- Top with granola right before serving so it stays crunchy.
Variations
Try raspberries, strawberries, chia seeds, coconut flakes, almond butter, or a spoonful of blueberry jam for a different summer twist.
