Make It Your Way: Substitutions & Variations

No oat flour? – blend 2/3 cup of rolled oats in a high-powered blender or food processor until they're broken down into fine flour (you may have a little extra).

Gluten-free? - make sure to use certified gluten-free oats if necessary.

No tahini? - use sunflower seed butter to keep this recipe nut free. If not nut free, you can also use cashew butter, peanut butter, or almond butter. Just make sure whatever you use is runny or well stirred, otherwise, it can affect the texture.

No maple syrup? - you can use granulated sugar, but you may have to add a little vegan milk to get the right consistency. Start with 1 teaspoon and add up to 1 tablespoon (which is 3 teaspoons) at the most.

No mini chocolate chips? - chop up your favorite chocolate bar.
