Texture:If you prefer a thicker consistency, reduce the amount of milk slightly. For creamier oats, add a bit more milk in the morning before eating. Sweetness:The natural sweetness from the bananas and berries should suffice, but if you prefer sweeter oats, drizzle a bit of honey or maple syrup on top. Customization:Don’t hesitate to get creative with toppings. Chia seeds, shredded coconut, or a handful of granola can add an extra layer of texture and flavor.
