Footnotes
- Cook's Notes:
- If mixture is too sticky, you can add more oats. If mixture is too crumbly, you can add more applesauce.
- You could throw in some nuts, almond meal, chocolate chips, dry milk powder, cocoa, or dried fruits depending on your cravings/goals and the consistency of the mix. You could also substitute peanuts/peanut butter for the sunflower seeds, agave for the honey, or quick-cooking oats for the old fashioned variety.
