Substitutions

- Low-Fat - use 4 egg whites in place of the 2 whole eggs.
- Gluten-Free - Oats are naturally gluten-free yet sometimes processed in a facility that processes other grains containing gluten. Look for a certified gluten-free label when buying oats to ensure they are truly GF.
- Pecans - This recipe can be made nut-free by omitting the pecans. Or, feel free to use walnuts, macadamia nuts, or whatever nut you have on hand.
