You’re very likely to have most of the ingredients for this recipe on hand already! And if you don’t have all of the nuts listed in the recipe, you can always swap in more of another kind to try to keep basically the same ratio/ measurements in the recipe! If you want to keep this recipe gluten-free, be sure to use oats that are labeled “gluten-free” and check to make sure all the other ingredients are as well! That gluten can be sneaky!
This is such an easy recipe that is fun to get the kids involved with. My kids have grown up making this with me year after year!
