Chef tips + Ingredient Swaps + Ideas
VEGAN use 100% baking cacao or vegan chocolate chips and maple syrup
*RAW HONEY; do not heat, stir it in with the oats after you melt the peanut butter and chocolate together
CHOCOLATE I use fair-trade raw cacao paste or 100% baking chocolate that has no sugar added etc. You can use dark chocolate chips; use what you like but depending on the sweetness of your choc chips you might consider reducing the maple syrup | honey
SUBSTITUTE peanut butter for sunflower seed butter or nut butter of your choice.
ADD protein powder if you want to give yourself a boost.
ADD cinnamon if you love it and are particularly focused on balancing blood sugar levels
GLUTEN-FREE buy oats that are processed in a gluten-free facility.
