Notes
*Gluten and dairy free notes: be sure your oats are certified gluten free. We’ve been very happy with Bob’s Red Mill brand. Also, double-check that your chia seed is safe. Sometimes, it’s processed on shared equipment with gluten- or dairy-containing ingredients and may cause a reaction, depending on your sensitivity. We got ours at Nuts.com, but I’ve also seen it at Trader Joe’s for a great price.
