Substitutions
You can use quick oats or rolled oats to make oat flour: Put the oats in a food processor or high speed blender. Blend until the oats become a fine powder. This will only take a few seconds in a high speed blender, and a little bit longer in a food processor.
You can swap oat milk for almond milk or organic soy milk. Cow’s milk works fine here too.
Coconut milk won’t work well here.
You can substitute coconut oil with avocado oil.
Substitute hemp seeds with flax seeds (for more Omega-3’s) or chia seeds (for more fibers).
You can use raw honey or maple syrup.
MAKE IT VEGAN: Swap egg with flax or chia egg. Use non-dairy milk.
MAKE IT GLUTEN-FREE: Use certified gluten-free oats. Tips for storing
Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. As a measure, I used US cup (240ml). The nutritional values are calculated and given without Maple Cream Cheese Drizzle.
