Recipe Notes
**My peanut butter was quite dry (it was the last bit out of the jar where I didn't mix in the oil that had separated well enough). So I needed to use ¾ cup of almond milk. I would recommend starting out with ½ cup, then add more milk if the dough needs it.
If you don't have Quinoa Flakes, you can try using all Quick Cooking Oats, but I haven't tried it.
