Notes
For a vegan version, use maple syrup or agave syrup and dairy-free chocolate chips.
If you don't have coconut oil, olive oil works as an alternative, though the flavor may vary.
Ensure your oats are certified gluten-free if needed.
Experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew butter for variety.
You can add protein powder to the mixture if desired, but adjust liquid content accordingly.
