If you’d rather not add the walnuts, coconut, or chocolate chips, that is totally fine. Keep or remove whatever ingredients the family really doesn’t care for.
- Maple syrup – you can use agave instead.
- Almond butter – if you don’t have this or don’t want to use it, you can use any other type of seed butter. The key though is checking the ingredients to ensure that there isn’t extra salt or sugar in it.
