To make them vegan, ensure you use maple syrup instead of honey. All other ingredients listed are plant-based!

3. What if I don’t have almond butter?

You can substitute almond butter with any nut or seed butter of your choice, such as peanut butter or sunflower seed butter.

4. Can these bites be made gluten-free?

Absolutely! Just ensure that the rolled oats you are using are certified gluten-free.

5. How many bites does this recipe make?
