Notes

  1. To make oat flour, place ½ cup rolled oats in a food processor and grind to a fine powder
  2. As coconut sugar has a grainy texture, you will need to grind it into a powder before adding to the flour mixture
  3. You can use your favorite veggies or fruits in this recipe like grated carrots, grated zucchini, mashed banana or grated apples
