    1. Hi, Casey! Yes, you can! I’ve totally done this before. Just be aware that any flavored packets of oatmeal will affect the taste of the final product, but unflavored oatmeal packets will work perfectly!

    1. Hi Sheila! Yes, they can definitely be gluten free. Just be sure to purchase oats that are certified gluten free. Gluten-free oats are not processed in facilities that also process wheat. Enjoy!

  1. Hi, I don’t have a mini muffin pan but already got the ingredients. Can I make these in a regular cupcake/muffin pan? Thanks

    1. Hi Kaitlyn! I’d try baking at 350 for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean of batter (melted chocolate will still bean the toothpick even when they’re fully cooked so make sure you’re just seeing batter). Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

    1. Hi Jenna! They store great at room temperature for up to 2 days and then I recommend in the refrigerator any longer than that. Enjoy!

    1. Hi Lori! I don’t provide nutritional information at this time because everyone uses different brands of ingredients which often have differing nutritional values. I would recommend plugging the ingredients you used into a free online nutrition calculator like: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/recipe/calculator Hope this helps. Enjoy!
