FAQ:
❓ Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats?
Yes, but the texture will be softer. Rolled oats give the best consistency.

Absolutely! Prepare the mixture the night before, refrigerate, and bake fresh in the morning.

❓ How do I make it extra crispy?
Sprinkle a little coconut sugar or chopped nuts on top before baking.
