Notes
I love crunchy peanut butter for this recipe. You can however use almond butter or your favorite nut butter of choice. [br]”Smooth” is also fine if you do not have “crunchy.” [br]Use any flour you want if you do not have coconut flour. NOTE: Coconut flour is gluten free. [br]If you do not have coconut sugar – than just use your sweeter of choice. [br]Can add in a scoop of protein powder if you want. Completely optional.
