Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other nuts? Absolutely! Walnuts, pecans, or peanuts all work wonderfully. Use your favorite or whatever you have on hand.
How do I make these nut-free? Replace nuts with more oats or sunflower seeds, and use sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter.
Can I add protein powder? Yes! Add 2-3 tablespoons of your favorite protein powder. You may need to add a bit more liquid to help them stick together.
What other coatings can I use? Try rolling in chopped nuts, cocoa powder, hemp seeds, or leave them plain!
