Notes
You can use any nut or seed butter but I prefer the taste of almond butter here.
You can use old fashioned oats if you do not have quick cooking oats. I prefer the texture of quick cooking oats but either will work fine! You can also pulse old fashioned oats a couple of times in a blender or food processor to get a texture more similar to quick cooking oats.
*I prefer the flavor with the vegan butter over the coconut oil. If you want to avoid the coconut flavor you could use refined coconut oil.
