Frequently asked questions
To make the best chewy cookies possible, it is best to use rolled oats. It makes your cookies heartier and thicker in texture.
In most cases, when baking, quick oats and rolled oats can be interchangeable. If and when you use either or it will simply change the texture of the cookies or baked goods and not so much the flavor. Rolled oats will make your cookies heartier.
In baking, if the recipe is called for rolled oats you can substitute it with flour. We recommend using a 1:1 ratio flour/almond flour. So if the recipe calls for 2 cups oats, use 1 cup flour of choice and 1 cup almond flour.

These are tasty banana cookies but do not taste like oatmeal raisin. I would add way more oats or way less banana.
