This looks so good! Can I use other mix ins too?
Of course! Any nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and even chocolate chips!
Thanks for sharing! Do they keep long in the freezer?
Yes they do well in the freezer. I’ve frozen them for about a week but they’re always eaten by then!
What can I sub for flaxmeal?
chia seeds
I’d like to sub date paste. Any idea how much I would need?
Silly question perhaps: Is this calling for 1/2 tsp of cinnamon AND 1/2 tsp of pumpkin spice? Or should it be OR? It wasn’t on its own line, so I wasn’t sure. Thanks. Looks delicious!
It calls for both 🙂
Hi! I was wondering what you added in if they were a bit dry. I subbed the sugar for maple syrup and they still came out on the dry—er side. Would you add in more applesauce?
Otherwise these were great!
More applesauce could work. Also baking a couple minutes less could keep them from getting too dry.
I’m wondering if I could add more oats instead of flax or chia seeds. Anything thoughts on another substitute? Oh I wonder if I could and Sunbutter, that might work as a good binder.
More oats may make it more dense, but you can use sunflower butter and add other seeds if you prefer.
