Notes

Work quickly when scooping - the mixture firms up fast once off the heat!
Use certified gluten-free oats to keep this recipe completely gluten-free.
Any nut or seed butter works as a peanut butter substitute.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
These are also delicious eaten straight from the freezer!
