Recipe Notes

* Use whatever nuts you prefer.  We usually use a combination of walnuts, pecans, almonds, and/or peanuts.  If you have nut allergies you can also substitute other dry ingredients for the nuts – more oats, chia seeds, flax seeds, millet, etc.

** The thing I love about this recipe is that it’s so adaptable.  Any of the dry ingredients can be substituted for other dry ingredients.  If we’re out of one ingredient I just substitute something else.
