Is there any chance that you can give the ingredients in grams as well as cups please? We in the UK use scales and the cups are predominantly a US thing!! Thank you in advance!!
Hi Lee! I’m in the process of measuring all the ingredients I use and testing them in my recipes to ensure I provide the most accurate weighted possible. It’s a slow process, but something I do plan to add to the site. Good to know you’re interested in it!
Agave nectar is great. NuttZo butter is great as well. Add some hemp seeds, walnuts, organic cacao powder/protein powder and you have an amazing pre/post workout snack.
So happy you’re enjoying them Maria!
Can something be substituted for the pure maple syrup???
I’ve had other readers use honey or brown rice syrup in other recipes with good results. I haven’t tried it myself so I can’t say for sure. If you try it, let me know how it goes!
