FAQ:

Q: Can I make this recipe nut-free?
A: Yes, replace walnuts and almonds with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.

Q: Is this recipe suitable for children?
A: Absolutely. It’s naturally sweetened and contains no refined sugars, making it a great snack for kids.

Q: Can I use steel-cut oats instead of rolled oats?
A: No, rolled oats are best for texture and binding. Steel-cut oats are too hard for no-bake recipes.

Q: Is the honey essential for the recipe?
A: No, it’s optional. If you're strictly vegan, use maple syrup or omit it entirely—the banana provides natural sweetness and moisture.

Q: Can I blend the mixture instead of chopping?
A: Yes, but leave some texture for a better bite. A food processor can help mix and chop simultaneously.
