This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Silk. The opinions and text are all mine.
Is there a reason to start with old fashioned oats instead of quick oats? I usually use quick oats.
Marilee, Feel free to use quick oats.
Can I use SunButter instead of Peanut butter and also Fat Free Milk instead of Nut Milk? I’m highly allergic to all nuts.
Thank you,
Lori
Absolutely! I often use SunButter in recipes for people with nut allergies and it works beautifully! Cow’s milk can be used instead of nut milk as well. Enjoy!
I have an allergy to oats….any suggestions for a substitute.
Yes! You can use flat coconut chips, large unsweetened coconut flakes (not the fine macaroon coconut), or brown rice flakes. Hope this helps!
