    You specify non-dairy milk. Could that be used? I like milk and use it rather than avoid it. - 10/6/14

    You can use any kind of milk you'd like! I specify non-dairy in this recipe so vegans can enjoy it, too.

    I followed the recipe but hubby and I just couldn’t get it down. It was the coconut milk. - 10/6/18

    Made this as soon as I saw this recipe. This morning my husband asked, "What do you call this?"
    When I told him he said,"Well, you can make it again!"
    Next time I will add just a little more liquid and perhaps some craisins which we always have in oats.
    Thanks for the recipe! - 10/6/15

    Use regular milk. Coconut milk has few nutrients. - 10/6/20

    What is the reason for using "non-dairy milk"?

    This was okay but not great. I made it exactly as written and probably won't make it again. - 10/9/19

    I used fresh coconut milk (grated from one coconut) and it did not turn out well. Will try again... - 10/7/19

    I'm gonna try this in my Instant Pot - just set it to turn itself on in a few hours, let it rip (using the oats or porridge cycle, and it automatically goes on a low "keep warm" cycle for like 10-12 hours - enough time to roll out of bed & have a hot breakfast! - 10/6/19
