Thanks Sarah 😉
Am wondering how the oat yoghurt is incorporated as it isn’t mentioned
Thanks
Hey Bec, the yogurt is added at step 4, just a little dollop at the top when serving 🙂 Hope you love it!
Is there a substitute for the monk fruit as I cannot access it at all
You can use sugar or maple syrup instead. You might need to add a little more, as monkfruit is usually sweeter. I’d start with the same amount as the recipe suggests and adjust to taste. Hope you love it!
beautiful but does this turn brown pretty quickly? can you make it and store for a day or two? TIA!!
It was fine for a day with the lime juice, I have not tried longer 🙂 Let us know if you give it a go!
