Notes
Be creative and try other additional ingredients.
You can use 4 small bananas instead of 3 large.
I have substituted 1/2 cup no-sugar applesauce or pumpkin puree for some or all of the oil and they still taste great.
These freeze well. You can place a few in a sandwich bag in the freezer, and they are ready to go for an easy breakfast, snack, or in a lunch.
Use can use another type of salt if you prefer.
Old fashioned oats are also called rolled oats.
