Could you leave out the coconut or sub with something else?

Another yummy slice! And love all the seeds making it a great option for school lunch boxes given nut restrictions. But I think my slightly fussy four year old can smell that they’re a bit healthier and wasn’t as big a fan as me… 🫠

I tried this recipe and it tastes great. I did a few swaps and changed it to gluten free but unfortunateky it didn’t hold as well as the original recipe – very crumbly. If doing GF version – might need to add a bit more liquid. Otherwise s great tasty recipe!
