Hi Oliver, thanks so much; yes they are delicious. I don’t calculate the calories sorry however you could put the ingredients into a calorie program and calculate it that way if you wanted 🙂:)
Hi, What could I substitute the dates with? 🙂
Hi Annie, I haven’t tried this recipe without dates but you could give it a go with another fruit like prunes or sultanas 🙂
I’m trying this tonight! How do you store them? Refrigerated or counter top?
I keep them in the fridge 🙂 Enjoy 🙂
Hey sounds delicious I am gluten free what could I replace the oats with? X
Thanks Paris!! You could use a Gluten-free flour for this one 🙂
Aren’t oats gluten free?
in australia, oats are actually classified as containing gluten.
