Notes

You need regular rolled oats - instant oats break down too much and steel cut won't soften up enough. I use 2% milk, but whole milk, skim milk, or even almond milk will all work fine. If you don't like apricot jam, use a different flavor. Honey, agave, or pure maple syrup work too. But don't skip the sweetener or the oats will be bland.
