Natalie’s Notes

Made several times when persimmons were in season October and November. Best oats you’ll ever eat. I don’t know the difference in the persimmons, so use whatever you can find in grocery stores. Milk is crucial! I added a teaspoon of white miso paste when I added the milk for a salty, umami flavor.
