Where can I find pandan extract for my oats?

Pandan extract is commonly found in Asian grocery stores or online. It is often labeled as pandan paste or essence. If you cannot find it, you can substitute it with vanilla extract and a pinch of matcha powder for color, though the flavor profile will differ slightly.

How long do these overnight oats stay fresh?

Creamy Pandan Coconut Overnight Oats with Mango Drizzle will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For the best texture and flavor, it is recommended to consume them within 3 days. Keep the mango drizzle separate and add it just before serving to prevent the oats from becoming too watery.

Can I use steel-cut oats for this recipe?

Standard rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) work best for this recipe because they absorb the liquid perfectly while maintaining a soft, pleasant bite. Steel-cut oats will remain very crunchy even after soaking overnight. If you prefer steel-cut, you should use 'quick-cooking' steel-cut oats or boil them for 5 minutes before following the overnight method.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, this recipe is naturally gluten-free as long as you ensure your oats are certified gluten-free. While oats themselves do not contain gluten, they are often processed in facilities that handle wheat, so checking the label is essential for those with sensitivities.
