Thanks Ladies… could the sugar be swapped with maple syrup?
You would have to add a bit of flour or something as the maple syrup would make it a bit runnier.
What could i use instead of almond meal?
If you’re trying to make it nut-free and gluten-free then that’s a hard one, you could try replacing it with coconut or gluten-free flour but it might make it too dense. We haven’t really tried replacing the almond meal to be honest.
