Using old-fashioned rolled oats instead of quick oats is essential for that perfect creamy texture you expect from this recipe.
Letting the oats simmer slowly helps the flavors meld beautifully, turning simple ingredients into a soul-warming dish.

Adding spices early lets their aromas fully develop, making your kitchen smell inviting and your bowl more flavorful.
