  1. 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!!

    1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. Ran across this recipe this afternoon and didn’t run to the store first, so used what I had…almond butter and sorghum syrup…the proportions you gave are terrific…next time I’ll try the peanut butter and maple syrup! 😉
