Is it possible to cook it without the honey or maple syrup?
Rena says
Hi. I am not sure if it will work. It will need something sticky to bind it all together
Maggie says
These were delicious!!! I added 1 scoop of collagen peptides to give them 6g more protein, I substituted chocolate whey with vanillla, I used all natural peanut butter, and substituted water with Almond milk. I did have to add about 1/4tsp extra of almond milk. I added chocolate chips right into dough mix (I only had the regular size chips so the mixed better in the dough lol)
Thank you so much for sharing!!

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback

Johananha Graham says
Can you substitute the almond flour for a different flour other than coconut? i have reactions to both flours??
Rena says
Hi Johananha. You can use oat flour. Or make your own oat flour by blending some rolled oats until they are fine and use that instead.
Alexis says

Hi you can use more almond flour instead of protein powder

That’s odd. I am not sure but usually, if it is a bit loose or watery you add more almond flour or protein and it should work.
