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)

- the chocolate chips/goji berries can be substituted with dried cranberries, raisins or chopped nuts

As I can’t have oats, GF or not, what can I use instead?
Thanks

Rice puffs or rice krispies could work!
