Chef tips
For an even silkier texture, blitz the oats on their own for a few seconds before adding the remaining ingredients. For a polished presentation, finish with an extra pinch of cinnamon on top.
Substitutions
You can replace the plain yogurt with plant-based yogurt for a dairy-free version. Almond milk can be swapped for oat milk or regular milk. If you do not have dried figs, use dates instead, though the flavor will be different and more caramel-like.
