Substitutions you can make to this recipe:

• the peanut butter can be substituted with almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter or tahini
• the agave syrup can be substituted with brown rice syrup or date syrup (I wouldn’t recommend maple syrup as it’s too liquidy)
• you can omit the chocolate chips and goji berries
• the chocolate chips/goji berries can be substituted with dried cranberries, raisins or chopped nuts
• use refined sugar free chocolate chips if you prefer
• the desiccated coconut can be omitted
