Recipe FAQS
Can I leave out the sugar?
No the recipe will not work the same without sugar
What is the texture of these bars?
These bars are soft like blondies not crunch like granola bars.
Substitutions
- almond butter - can be subbed with peanut butter, cashew butter or sun butter for nut free. I don't suggest tahini because it is too liquidy
- flax eggs - I believe you can use two real eggs but I have not tested this
- maple syrup - can be subbed with honey or another liquid sweetener
- coconut sugar - can be subbed with brown sugar

Notes
If you cut the blondies while they are still hot they will be soft and crumbly, the longer you let them sit the firmer they will get.
