Notes
If you’re sensitive to oats, replace with toasted quinoa flakes (toast in 350F oven for 5 minutes, cool and add to recipe). If you want to make the dessert grain-free, replace oats with unsweetened shredded coconut. Feel free to store these cups in the freezer for up to a week. Just make sure there is a lid on them so that they don’t get freezer burn. Allow to sit out on the counter for a couple of minutes before enjoying.
