1 cup rolled oats (or quick oats)

Notes
If you don’t have oat flour, blend rolled oats until finely ground (1 cup oat flour = 90g).
Wet hands or utensils to handle sticky dough easily.
Taste the dough and adjust sweetness if desired.
Swap chocolate chips for raisins or add nuts/spices to customize.
Refrigerate for 4–5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
