Notes
- Serving size: one square bar
- Use rolled oats instead of quick oats. Quick oats will work too but the texture will change.
- Any milk of choice.
- Honey: can be substituted with agave or maple syrup
- Yogurt: I used coconut yogurt but any other yogurt would work
- To make this vegan: do use non-dairy yogurt, maple syrup or agave, almond milk, and dairy-free chocolate chips
- For gluten-free, use GF rolled oats
