10 Comprehensive Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, though the texture will be softer. For best results, use a mix of both.
2. What can I use instead of stevia?
You can use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar, though this will increase the sugar content.
3. Can I freeze these bars?
Absolutely. Slice, wrap individually, and freeze for up to 2 months.
4. How do I make this recipe vegan?
It’s already vegan! Just ensure your stevia and add-ins (like chocolate chips) are vegan-friendly.
5. Can I use other dried fruits?
Yes! Raisins, chopped dates, or dried apricots work beautifully.
6. What kind of nuts are best?
Almonds, walnuts, and pecans are all great. Toast them for extra flavor.
7. Can I make these bars nut-free?
Yes. Substitute nuts with seeds like sunflower, pumpkin, or sesame seeds.
