Frequently asked
Can I use a different nut butter?+
Yes — almond or cashew butter works the same way. Very runny butters may need an extra spoonful of oats.
Can I skip the protein powder?+
Yes — replace it with an equal amount of extra oats or ground flaxseed.
Are they freezer-friendly?+
Very. Freeze on a tray, then transfer to a bag; thaw a few minutes on the counter or eat them cold.
