Substitutions you can make
- The peanut butter can be replaced with almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- The agave syrup can be replaced 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 replaced with dried cranberries, raisins or chopped nuts.
- Use refined sugar free chocolate chips if you prefer.

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

Rice puffs or rice krispies could work!

Delicious granola bars! Made them to snack on while travelling.... so easy and so good... yum! Even my conventional eating husband kept snacking on them. They’ll definitely become a regular treat in our house.
