Chef's notes
If you want them to look extra cute and photogenic, just pop some chocolate chips in the side like you do for photogenic chocolate chip cookies.
They are perfect for snacking, an easy breakfast on-the-go, a healthy dessert, or any ol’ time you’re craving a boost of energy.
If you use GF oats, they’re naturally gluten-free. Also, if you use agave instead of honey (and true milk-free dark chocolate), they’re also naturally vegan.
