Notes
Optional Substitutions:
- Old Fashioned Oats or Rolled Oats work best in this recipe
- Substitute Raisins, M&M's or Mini Chocolate Chips
- Almond Butter, Sunbutter, or Peanut Butter all work great. Use what you and your family enjoy best.
- Vanilla extract can be used instead of Almond extract. If you don't have either, you can leave it out of the recipe. It will still taste great!
