Notes

  • Gluten-Free: Use certified gluten-free oats and a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Vegan Option: Replace egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water).
  • Make It Sweeter: Add honey, maple syrup, or extra sugar if desired.
  • Storage: Keep at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerate for 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
