FAQs
Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Quick oats can be used, but the texture will be softer and less chewy. Rolled oats provide the best creamy texture overnight.
Is pistachio butter necessary?
Pistachio butter adds unique flavor and richness, but you can substitute it with other nut butters if you don’t have it on hand.
