Recipe Notes & Substitutions:
Coconut: Substitute 2/3 cup of nuts for coconut.
Flour: Though I haven鈥檛 tried it, I鈥檓 pretty confident that if you wanted to try this out with whole wheat flour, oat flour or gluten-free flour, it would work.
Sugar: Not ready to try coconut sugar? 3/4 cup packed brown sugar would work too, but omit the honey.
