Question

Overnight Oats

Ingredients:

oats
milk
yogurt
vanilla (optional)
honey (optional)
toppings
A jar of overnight oats has an equal amount of oats and milk, plus yogurt (half of the amount of oats). Once the mixture is stirred, a teaspoon of vanilla and/or honey can be added if desired. Some possibilities for toppings are peanut butter, fruit, and nuts. The mason jar, which contains enough for one breakfast, is placed in a fridge for at least two hours, but preferably overnight.

A person is planning to give oral instructions for how to follow the recipe. What would be the best way for the person to describe the ingredients?

(a) Begin by gathering your ingredients. You need to have oats, milk, and yogurt, while vanilla and honey are optional. You will also need berries and nuts as toppings to make your oats even tastier.
(b) Begin by gathering your ingredients. You need oats, milk, yogurt, peanut butter, fruit, and nuts. You can also use vanilla and honey if you choose.
(c) Begin by gathering your ingredients. You need to have oats, milk, yogurt, vanilla, honey, and some different toppings.
(d) Begin by gathering your ingredients. You need oats, milk, yogurt, and your favorite toppings. Strawberries and almonds are just a couple of possibilities. Vanilla and honey can also be used if desired.

Answer 1

(d) — it clearly states the required core ingredients (oats, milk, yogurt), gives optional topping examples, and notes vanilla/honey are optional, which matches the recipe.
