I agree! These are DELICIOUS! Natasha is the best!
Hey,
I think you have written wrong under the sweeteners, you have written :
1 1/4 cup liquid sweetener of choice (raw agave, coconut aminos, or maple syrup)
Shouldn´t it say coconut nectar?
;-))

Hi Rikke,
Thanks for pointing this out — It definitely should be coconut nectar!
Hope you enjoy. 🙂
Thanks Rikke and Natasha.
I used the raw agave and didn’t even look at it when I typed it up.
THANKYOU for pointing this out 🙂
