FAQs

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?

Is it necessary to use chia seeds?

Chia seeds help thicken the oats and add nutritional value, but you can omit them if desired.

Can I use canned coconut milk?

Frozen mango works well. Thaw it before adding to the mixture.

Can I prepare multiple servings at once?

How can I make this recipe sugar-free?

Omit the honey or maple syrup. The natural sweetness of the mango may be sufficient.

Certainly. Adding nuts like almonds or seeds like flaxseed can enhance the texture and nutritional profile.

Yes, if you use certified gluten-free oats.

Can I use other types of milk?
