Notes

Flour options: Instead of oat flour, you can use almond flour, coconut flour, or gluten-free flour, depending on what you have on hand.
Cheese substitution: If you don't have cottage cheese, you could try this recipe with ricotta cheese or your favorite dairy-free cheese.
Sweeteners: For those with a sweet tooth, you could add a sweetener such as maple syrup, agave nectar, or honey.
Spices: Feel free to experiment with adding spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom.
Protein powder: If you want a protein boost, you could add a scoop of protein powder; just be aware that this may affect the final texture.
Add-ins: You could mix in some diced fruit such as bananas, blueberries, strawberries, or apples.
Toppings: Get creative with toppings such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or even a dollop of yogurt.
