Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these bars vegan?
Yes—just use dairy-free yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey.

Can I use quick oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, but the texture will be softer. Rolled oats are best for chewiness.

Do these bars need to be refrigerated?
Yes! The yogurt and chocolate topping keep best when chilled.

Absolutely—just mix in 1–2 scoops and add a splash of milk if needed.
