A: Yes. Quick oats work but the texture will be softer.

A: You can shape and chill them for a no-bake snack, but they will be softer and chewier.
Q: Are frozen blueberries okay?
A: Yes. Add them straight from frozen, but expect a little more moisture in the dough.
Q: Can I add sweetener?
A: If your banana is not very ripe, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to taste.
