Notes
Ingredient Substitutions
There are only 8 ingredients in this recipe, and there aren't many ingredients I'd recommend changing! But here are two possible substitutions.
Peanut Butter.
Any nut or seed butter works great in this recipe!
Coconut oil.
Butter or ghee can be used as a substitute for coconut oil!
Honey.
For a vegan version, use maple syrup!
Coconut.
If coconut isn't your thing you can simply increase the amount of oats by 1/4 cup and leave it out entirely!
