Do you think you could use frozen fruit…if you thawed it out first?
Hi Denise
Yes, you can use frozen fruit. I don’t recommend thawing the fruit prior to cooking.
Thank you!
I made these today and they are delicious.
Can you substitute cows milk for the almond milk?
Hi Tammy
Yes, you bet. The point value may vary depending on which brand of milk you use.
Thanks so much!
Is there anything that could be used instead of bananas? Pumpkin maybe?
Thanks!
HI Susanne
You could use unsweetened applesauce or pumpkin puree would also be a great substitute.
Hi
I purchased the e-book I messed up downloading it and lost the link and would like to try again if you could resend me the link.
Thank you

Hi Debbie
Thanks for reaching out. I would be happy to resend that to you. Will you please email me at pounddropper@outlook.com and I will be happy to assist you!
Have a wonderful day
Made these today – I absolutely love them!
Good morning,
I loved the flavour but mine were wet. Did I need to bake longer? Also I substituted brown sugar Truvia instead of Monkfruit, did I need to reduce the amount. Thx!!
Hi Kim
Thanks for reaching out. If they were still wet in the middle, I recommend cooking them a bit longer. Keep in mind the oats will absorb most of the moister as as they cool as well. The Lakanto Monkfruit I use has a 1:1 ratio to regular sugar so you would want to use the conversion for real sugar that is shows on the back of the Truvia package.
Hope that helps! Thanks so much
Hi! Looking to make these, but do not have monkfruit. Could you skip that all together?
HI Terri
You can substitute the monk fruit for real sugar or any sweetener of your choice. Yes, you could omit the sweetener-they just won’t be as sweet.
Thank you!
Please tell me why most recipes especially WW are divided into odd amounts like this recipe nine servings, I realize nine brings the point value down and looks a lot better to get three points than four or five. I began cooking when I was 16 years old I’m 70 now Please tell me how you cut the servings into 9 equal servings. What I would love to see is recipes posted either for nine squares or eight just to make the serving size much simpler to divide. I love your recipes I have made so many of them You are my number one Weight Watcher website.
