Notes
Make the oat flour by blending or food processing oats, you’ll need a little more than 1/2 cup of rolled oats to make 1/2 cup of oat flour.
The peanut butter can be substituted with almond butter or sunflower seed butter as long as they’re fairly drippy and not too dry.
The walnuts can be substituted with chopped almonds or pecans.
