Hi, I love that this recipe is dairy, egg & gluten free as my son is allergic to all… Can you recommend a substitute for the almond meal (he’s also allergic to nuts). Looking forward to suggestions! 🙂

  You can leave out the almond meal if you wish Lauren – it still has a great consistency without it.

Mine didn’t reach breadcrumb consistency. I used a little less apricots as I only had a small bag. It was more of a sticky dough??? Still tastes ok, I just cut into little apricot/coconut squares

I made it into balls and rolled in coconut. Beautiful consistency! I tiny bit bitter with the almond meal but so I’m going to drizzle a little chocolate to combat the bitterness. I think next time I’ll leave out the almond meal and add crushed macadamia or cashew, or maybe sunflower and pepita seeds

I made this with 1/2 cup wheat germ as I needed it nut free for school and a small amount of chia seeds (why not!?!) and I only used about 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and it is yummy!!! I have frozen it in the past and it lasted well 🙂
