Q4: Are these gluten-free?

Yes, if your oats are certified gluten-free.

Q5: Can I make them sugar-free?

Use monk fruit syrup or stevia-based honey substitute.

Q6: Storage?

• Room temperature: 2 days
• Refrigerator: 5 days
• Freezer: up to 2 months

• Overmixing
• Too much oat flour
• Not enough moisture from avocado
