Glad you enjoyed them, Laura! Thanks for the review.
How long the cookies will last!?
Can I sub a liquid sweetener here? Also confused why these cookies need twice as much sweetener as your other oat cookie recipe?
I’ve never made these with liquid sweetener so I’m not sure as it hasn’t been tested. They’re just a recipe from my other cookies so if you prefer less sugar I’d recommend browsing the other options. Thanks!
3flax eggs? I use daily cleanse too how much of the cleanse is it?
Mix 3 tbsp of Daily Cleanse with 6 tbsp of water and let it sit for a few minutes before you add it in 🙂
