February 28, 2014 at 11:56 pmJust made these (actually munchin on one now!) and they are so great. As a snack with coffee, a power snack, or a treat. I have a tendency to muddle with recipes and so added walnuts and an extra banana, more quinoa and cinnamon. Still turned out 🙂 Thanks!
Richa says

Erika says
March 1, 2014 at 2:25 amCan I use coconut flour? Also, can I substitute applesauce for the oil?
Richa says
March 1, 2014 at 2:31 amyou can use a combination of oat, almond and coconut flours. sure you can use apple sauce or more mashed banana.
