Oat flour: There’s no need to purchase oat flour, simply blend rolled oats in a blender on high until powdery/flour. Then measure out 1 1/2 cups of that flour. If using store bought oat flour, simply weigh it out to get the exact amount.
Dry mixture: the mixture should hold together when pressed and easily roll into balls. If it’s too dry, start by adding a splash of water and pulsing again. If it’s still too dry, add a drizzle more tahini or chopped dates to achieve the correct texture.
Coconut butter drizzle: you can omit the coconut butter if you don’t have it/like it, or you can also drizzle with melted white chocolate.
