As much as I love it I cant eat wheat too often, and I’m not a big fan of sugar, but luckily there are loads of options you can replace them with. The main things in the recipe to replace are gram flour (chick pea flour) and agave syrup which is also good for binding everything together. Prep and cooking of this is easy and if you’re efficient not much to clean up either.
