Notes
1. Make your own oat flour by grinding small amounts in a coffee grinder and pulsing the oats until you have a texture that resembles coarse meal. You could also use a high powered blender. Add the oats to the container and blend until desired consistency.2. You could substitute the chocolate chips for chopped walnuts.
