CAN I SUBSTITUTE THE OATS?
Yes, use equal quantity of other grain flakes such as rice flakes or quinoa flakes. Or use quick cooking grains such as quinoa or buckwheat groats. Use 2/3 cup uncooked grains.
CAN I SUBSTITUTE MAPLE SYRUP?
Yes use equal amount of coconut sugar, date sugar, or other sugar, or use other sweetener of choice.
Can I make this Nut-free?
Yes, Use sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter, and coconut milk or oat milk for the non dairy milk.
Reduce baking powder to 1/2 tsp, add in 1 tsp lemon juice into the wet mixture. This will reduce the chances of the baked oatmeal turning green in the middle. This can happen because of the sunbutter reacting with the baking powder, but the color is harmless and edible.
