Notes
you can use dry or soaked oats - do not over soak the oats, it will end up slimy
do not use quick oats, you can use rolled oats, gluten-free rolled oats, or even steel-cut oats.
you can use your favorite sweetener if you do not like dates.
to make this nut-free omit the cashews and reduce the water by 1/2 cup.
