Tastes great. Appreciate the sub of flax w walnuts. Also, should the coconut oil be a dry or wet measure? Thanks!!

Under dietary restrictions, these are not listed as gluten free, what in the ingredients contains gluten?

Would it be possible to update this amazing-sounding recipe with nutritional info? I’d be tempted to eat the whole batch!

Sarah Olson REPLIED:

We don’t have that information available, but all of our recipes are designed by nutritionists to have a healthy mix of fats, fiber, and protein. This keeps your energy levels up, but also allows you to make it from meal to meal (or meal to snack), without a big blood sugar dip that keeps you thinking about that cookie at the corner bakery. To find out more about our nutritional philosophy, watch Sadie talk about it here.

Is there something I can use in place of hemp hearts? My husband is military and in his position they are drug tested regularly so even though hemp hearts are not a drug, anything with hemp in it registers on the screening. I am dying to make this! 🙂

A combination of ground flax seeds and finely chopped almonds or walnuts

I would pay good money to have these in hard copy!!! Are they any plans in the works for a hardcover recipe book? I would buy a bunch for family/friends gifts – these recipes are all so incredible!
Thanks so much – San Carlos is my home studio.

Hi Heidi! Great question. We don’t currently have plans to create a hardcover recipe book, but we’ll make sure to pass this idea onto the rest of our team!

Is there a substitute for hemp hearts? Could you use flaxmeal perhaps?
