FAQs
Can I use rolled oats instead of quick cooking oats?
Yes, but rolled oats will require longer cooking time and a bit more liquid for the right creamy consistency.
What can I use if I don’t have dried persimmons?
Dried apricots, raisins, or dried cranberries make excellent substitutes and add a similar chewy texture and sweetness.
