Ingredients overview and substitutions:
old fashioned rolled oats - Use gluten free, if necessary. I don't recommend steel cut oats or quick oats for this recipe.
ground flaxseed - You can use chia seeds in place of ground flaxseed if you'd like.
plain Greek yogurt - Vanilla flavored Greek yogurt would be delicious, I would just reduce the maple syrup by a teaspoon so it's not too sweet.
milk - Any milk will work in this recipe, but I recommend dairy milk for extra protein and creaminess.

Skipped the coconut sugar (maple syrup enough sweetness for me), and added 1/4 almond ext. Used chia seeds. I like cinnamon so used 3/4 t. LOVED IT!!!!
Awesome! 🙂

Excellent recipe. I used 1 tsp organic coconut nectar instead of coconut sugar. I only used 1tsp flax, 1 tsp maple syrup as I’m trying to cut back on the sweetness. Was very tasty and filling. I used almond milk. Thank you for posting this recipe.
So happy you liked it!!

Mine turned out a little dry? I think I need more milk
Hmm. Not sure why. Yes, adding a bit more milk would do the trick.
