If you only have old fashioned oats, not the quick cooking, can you use the old fashioned? Thanks.
Jillian says
Hi Linda! This should work! If you batter seems too runny, just add a little bit more oats to thicken!
Caroline says
When do you put in the apple sauce? I thought I was being blind as I couldn’t see it mentioned in the directions but I did a search and it’s definitely not there. Have done all the stages until the protein powder and there is no apple sauce in there.
Jillian Glenn says
Thank you for catching that mistake! I've added it into the instructions!
