Recipe Notes
Here are some simple swaps you can make in your home to make these your own:
- Swap any nut or seed butter in place of peanut butter, especially for allergies. Sunflower seed butter works great!
- If you’d like to keep these free of added sugar, swap in raisins for cranberries and omit the chocolate.
- Be sure to use a certified gluten-free oat if you have a gluten intolerance in your home.
Now, serve these up with a cool glass of your favorite milk or warm cup of coffee or tea, the possibilities are endless!
