FAQ:
1. Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats? Yes, you can. Instant oats will cook faster, so be sure to keep an eye on the texture as it may thicken quicker.
2. How can I make this dessert more indulgent? For a richer flavor, you can add a spoonful of peanut butter, almond butter, or even a bit of chocolate spread.
3. Can I use other dried fruits instead of dates? Absolutely! Dried apricots, raisins, or figs are great alternatives if you're looking for a different flavor profile.
4. Can I make this dessert ahead of time? While it's best fresh, you can make it ahead and store it in the fridge. Reheat before serving, and feel free to adjust the consistency by adding a bit more milk if it thickens too much.
This oatmeal and date dessert is your go-to quick and delicious treat, offering both nourishment and satisfaction in every bite. Enjoy!
