Chef's Notes & Storage

USE ROLLED OATS: Old-fashioned rolled oats give the best balance between creamy and chewy. Instant oats can become mushy. FROZEN BLUEBERRIES: Frozen berries work well and will naturally streak the oats purple as they thaw. LEMON ZEST: A small amount gives the oats the bakery-style brightness associated with blueberry muffins without making them taste like lemon oatmeal.
