Hi Dr. Axe, love your recipes and this one is no exception! Do you have any suggestions for turning this into an overnight oats recipe? Thank you!
Can you use old fashioned oats instead of steel oats
Sounds wonderful and very nutritious, can’t wait to try it!
I don’t see anything about soaking oats…
Feel free to soak the oats if you want!
I love your recipes and the products in them.
I made this a couple of days ago. I was really afraid because unfortunately I can’t stand the taste of coconut!! I found it to be very bland…so I added some stevia. it wasn’t so bad! I will make it again and add nuts and honey. :)
I have read that oats should be soaked ahead of time to reduce phytic acid. Is this true?

Very tasty! I added walnuts and a bit of raw honey. I find that steel cut oats take longer to cook than reflected by the cooking times in this recipe however.
How to make pumpkin purée?
Roast a whole pumpkin and scoop out the meat to use as puree.
I keep finding healthy recipes that use coconut and/or tree nut milks and oils. My daughter is HIGHLY allergic to these, coconut especially!…what would be an alternative that would still give the health benefits?
Goat milk could be a good option and for oils try using ghee. You could also look into rice milk.
How about using real organic maple syrup for the sweetener?
That works
Sounds good, but no sweetener?
You can add raw honey or stevia if you need to sweeten it.
I’m allergic to chia seeds. Is it needed for the recipe? If so, is there a substitute?
You can leave it out or substitute with flax seeds.
You list coconut milk in the ingredients, but in the directions, you use almond milk. Which one is preferable for this recipe? Thanks.
I personally like coconut milk but both are great options
