2. Is there any substitution that can be used in place of the almond butter? I am allergic but would like to make these if there is a alternative to the almond butter. Thank you

   1. Sunflower butter makes a great substitute!

      1. I notice you said you can use sunflower butter instead of almond butter. I have a son who cannot do almond or sunflower. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

3. Pinned! I love a short ingredient list, and I love oats in any form. Maybe I can get my kids to eat them in a cookie!

4. Are Quaker Oats Quick one-minutes Oats OK for this recipe, or I'm thinking that not one-minute oats would be better? Thanks, Dave

   1. I used regular old fashioned oats for this recipe. I haven't tried it with the one minute oats, but I think it should be fine since there is no liquid called for in the recipe :)

5. I love this!, I do baked oatmeal bites for my toddler, but I think this would be a huge hit! Do you think I could do it with chopped strawberries or would it get too watery? Blueberries are not her thing. Thanks :)

   1. I think you could definitely use strawberries. I would use a paper towel to absorb as much of the water as you can before you bake, but it should work great :)

10. There are so many health benefits of oats! My kids aren't big fans of oatmeal, so I'm always looking for ways to bake with them. I love how simple this recipe is.

14. I have everything in the bowl now except the blueberries. It seems way too dry. Can I use frozen berries or dehydrated berries?? Would I need to thaw them?

    1. So sorry that I didn't get to help you in time :( what brand of almond butter were you using? Was it a no stir version? You can use both types of blueberries, I just prefer using fresh. If you use frozen ones, you should thaw them in a colander to make sure there isn't extra water in the recipe :)

15. I had to go on and make something with the oats, almond butter, and brown sugar. It would not have worked for cookies. It was so dry they would not even stay together. It was more like crisp topping texture. So I added protein powder, egg, milk, baking powder, dash of salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. Made them into bars and they were delicious when they were warm. Not sure how they will be when they are cold. I will take them to our son next week. I froze them except for the one we sampled.

    1. I'm so sorry that I am now just replying, I have been raveling and had limited access to the computer :) I'm sorry that they didn't turn out well for you and that you had to improvise and make something else. I have updated the recipe to account for the different types of almond butter. Some no stir versions don't have enough oil in them and can result in a dry cookie. You can either add oil or reduce the oats to compensate for the lack of oil in the almond butter :)

16. I am not sure the brand I used. It was Marathan I think or something close to that spelling. We are very pleased with the bars I made and I have made them again. Thanks for replying.

17. So glad the recipe I was going to make turned out too dry. Since I added the other ingredients and made a bar out of it it is a total success. Everyone that has tried it loved them. This is the first time I ever started with a recipe and completely changed it. This is a keeper for my family. I did not use blueberries. I added coconut and pecans to the top. YUM!!

18. do you think they would come OK if i didn't add the brown sugar but used some honey? my stepfather is a diabetic, i'm trying to find a healthy but yummy recipe for him so he isn't tempted to get cookies all the time!
