You can also use other grain flakes such as quinoa or rice instead of oats. Or use 2/3 cup uncooked quinoa or cracked wheat.
For nut-free, omit the nuts and use coconut milk or oat milk for non dairy milk
** If omitting most or all of maple syrup, add 1 to 3 tbsp more non dairy milk so the oats have enough moisture to absorb. Nutrition is for 1 serve
