Notes
OR ELSE
• Instead of vegetable or olive oil, try coconut oil
• Instead of raisins, use currants, or chopped dried apricots or dates
• Instead of walnuts, use pecans or almonds
• Instead of pumpkin seeds, use sunflower seeds.
If you can’t find unsweetened coconut, use sweetened coconut and use 2 tablespoons maple syrup instead of 3.
