Notes
Use certified gluten-free oats to make the recipe gluten-free.
Swap peanut butter with almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter for variations or allergy-friendly options.
Add-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or mini chocolate chips can boost flavor and texture.
Store in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for longer shelf life.
