Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats Avoid instant oats for the best texture.
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup butter (softened) Substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • ½ cup brown sugar Granulated sugar can replace it.
  • ¼ cup maple syrup Honey can substitute but will change flavor.
  • 1 large egg For vegan, use a flax egg.
