Notes
Don't have oats? Replace the oatmeal with 2 cups of any flour (like whole wheat, chickpea, almond, or all-purpose flour)
If you don't have a food processor, turn the oats into flour using a blender, then simply mix in the other ingredients by hand.
Store in an airtight container (fridge or room temperature) for up to 1 week.
