Add Apples:
Stir in chopped or grated apples in the last 2 minutes of cooking to soften them slightly while maintaining texture. For added crunch, add raw apples after removing oats from heat. -
Customize Your Bowl:
Add your favorite toppings, such as cinnamon, seeds, or a drizzle of almond butter.
