Chef's Notes
For extra flavor, toast the oats in a dry pan for 3–4 minutes before mixing.
If the batter feels too sticky, refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm up.
Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized bites that bake uniformly.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a side of Greek yogurt and fresh berries for a balanced lunch, or enjoy as an afternoon snack with a drizzle of almond butter.
