Notes
Make it your own: Swap almond flour for oat or gluten-free flour. Use any nut or seed butter (like peanut or sunflower), and replace sliced almonds with your favorite nuts or seeds (cashews, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds).
Sweetener options: Maple syrup can be swapped with honey or another natural sweetener (use a vegan option if needed).
Mix-ins: Use any dried fruit (chopped to raisin size) or switch things up with mini chocolate chips.
Dietary swaps: Gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
Nut-free: skip almonds, increase oats to 2 cups, and use sunflower butter. Storage: Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers for up to 1 week (fridge or cool place). Freezer-friendly: Freeze in a silicone bag for up to 6 months. Enjoy straight from your bag once thawed—perfect for hikes or busy days.
