Can I use instant oats?

Absolutely, They'll cook faster (about 2 minutes), but the texture will be softer. I prefer rolled oats for that perfect chew, but instant works great when you're in a real hurry.

Yes - as long as you use certified gluten-free oats. Regular oats are naturally gluten-free but can get cross-contaminated during processing. Always check your labels if this is important for you.

Why does mine turn out gluey?

You might be overcooking the oats or stirring too much. Cook just until creamy (not dry), and stir only when necessary. Adding a bit more liquid helps too.

Can I meal prep this?

You can cook the oats ahead, but I'd add toppings fresh. The eggs especially taste best right after cooking. The oats keep well for 2 days in the fridge though.
