Notes
Recipe ingredients and amounts are very flexible. You can easily substitute or add other nuts, like pecans, slivered almonds and even pistachios. The same goes for dried fruit – I also love adding uncooked chopped dried apricots, dried cherries, dried blueberries or dried cranberries. You can also cut down on the amount of maple sugar or coconut oil, depending on your preference.
