Notes
[‘If the mixture is sticky, dampen your hands lightly with water before rolling.’, ‘For a smoother texture, pulse the oats in a food processor before mixing.’, ‘If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the honey slightly and add a splash of milk to adjust consistency.’, ‘These store beautifully, so making a double batch is always a smart idea!’, ‘Try adding shredded coconut, dried cranberries, or even a sprinkle of cocoa powder for variety.’]
