Notes
- To make oatmeal gluten free, make sure to use gluten free oats as regular oats are technically not gluten free. Regular oats are grown in fields with wheat, so cross contamination is very common.
- If you do not have vanilla extract, opt for vanilla flavored almond milk.
- You can sub out other nut butters for this oatmeal. Feel free to use almond butter or sunflower seed butter. If you use peanut butter, note that it is possible your oats will taste more peanut buttery.
