Notes

 
You can swap the peanut butter for almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower butter.
To make gluten-free: Use certified GF oats.
For extra sweetness: Add mini chocolate chips or drizzle with melted chocolate.
Make-ahead friendly: These store well in the fridge for 7 days or in the freezer for 3 months.
To reduce sweetness: Use unsweetened coconut and a bit less condensed milk.
Add-ins to try: Crushed pretzels, chopped nuts, freeze-dried berries, or a swirl of maple syrup.
