Notes

  • Use whole rolled oats rather than quick oats for the best texture.
  • A food processor works best for blending the mixture smoothly and evenly.
  • A blender can also be used, although the mixture may be a little harder to scrape out from under the blades.
  • Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavour.
  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
