    This recipe is so easy! I love when I only have to clean one dish and can whip them up in the blender. These are so delicious – the perfect consistency and sweetness. A great snack to have on hand for the week! I’m currently 38 weeks pregnant so I made a big batch to freeze for when babe comes.

    Did you pre-blend the oats or is it okay to have them as they are before pulsing?

    Maria Koutsogiannis

    just add everything into the blender as it is!
