      Hello! I am looking to make these but can't eat oats and oat flour... What substitute would you recommend instead?

        Hi Jazz! Thanks for reaching out! I would probably go with almond flour; however, I haven't tried it so I am not sure if the measurement would be exactly the same. You could try adding slightly less at first and if the dough isn't thick enough, you can then add more. Let me know if you give it a try and how it turns out. Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂

      Those are some amazing cookies bites. There’s something about raw cookie bites, i can never get enough of it. Those chocolate cookie bites looks very tempting

      Howwww do you have the restraint to not eat all of these at once?! I have restraint with most other desserts -- cookies, cakes, etc -- but when it comes to these sorts of no bake bites, I cannot stop at one. Or two. Or three. Or uh... sometimes, even four. I can't keep these in my kitchen or I'll eat them all! (I try to make them as healthy treats for my preschooler, but I wind up eating at least half of them, haha.)
