  3. Oats- rolled oats

Substitutions

  1. Peanut butter-can use any nut butter, or sunflower seed butter.
  2. Oats- you can use almond flour.

After cooling completely, you can store these cookies in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost on the counter or stick in the microwave for 15 seconds.

  3. Hi, I am thinking to do this for my 13 months old baby. What else can i use to replace maple syrup?

  4. Is there a substitute for maple syrup? (not honey?). My LO is under 2 and I don’t want her having sugar yet.

  5. Would adding an egg help them stick together better? Also a little more protein would be added…
