Helpful Tips

• The chocolate almond butter can be substituted with brownie batter oat butter, Nutella, or plain/crunchy almond butter.

• A spoonful of almond butter enhances both the flavor and the texture of the oats, while adding healthy fats and a boost of plant- based protein. Oat butter adds some protein and healthy fats, but less than nut butters- its great for texture and balance.

• To make these oats dairy free, omit the yogurt or use Silk yogurt instead. If omitting yogurt, I like to add a mashed banana to maintain a creamy texture.

• I prefer rolled oats, but quick oats may be used as well for a softer consistency. Avoid using steel-cut oats, they will remain firm and chewy without cooking.
