Tips:
** You can make your own oat flour by blending rolled oats in a coffee grinder. 2 cups of rolled outs should make 1 1/2 cups of oat flour.
Any seed butter or cashew butter would work well too!
Feel free to use whatever nuts & dried fruit you’d like
You can by oat flour from the store if preferred.
Make a double batch & freeze!
