Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
If the dough feels too dry to hold its shape, add a teaspoon more nut butter or honey. If it is too sticky, add a tablespoon more oats to help bind the mixture together.
Varianten und Anpassungen
For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey. Swap nut butter for sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option, and adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup to taste.
