  1. Sharon D says:

    Technically oats (Avena) are in the weed family as a cereal grain, which means, oats are not exactly Paleo. What could you substitute oats with without changing the flavour or structure? Thanks.

    1. Delicious Meets Healthy says:

      Hi Sharon, you could try rolled quinoa, or coarsely chopped walnuts/pecans.

  2. Carmen says:

    When do you add the almond extract?

    1. Delicious Meets Healthy says:

      Hi Carmen, you add it when you mix all topping ingredients.

  3. Tara says:

    I didn’t think oats were Paleo (it’s a grain) what’s a good substitute for oats?

    1. Delicious Meets Healthy says:

      Hi Tara, you can try rolled quinoa or coconut flakes as a substitute for oats.
