I noticed that there is coconut oil in the ingredients, but you have an article in your health tips that don’t exactly give coconut oil a glowing endorsement. Can we leave it out?
I’m not sure if you could leave it out, but you might be able to reduce the amount or replace it with almond or cashew butter. Good idea, I’ll have to test it to make sure. While I don’t endorse eating much of any processed oil, the quantity in this recipe is low. In the context of an otherwise healthy, plant-based diet, this may be acceptable, unless you have heart disease when it is recommended to avoid all processed oil.
Thanks. We’re going to give it a try this afternoon. Have a great weekend!
