Notes
We like using almond butter for this recipe. It gives a mild nutty flavor without overpowering. However, almond butter can be expensive. Use the nut butter that works best for you.
Sugar substitutes are a good alternative to regular sugar if you are working to manage your blood sugar or want to reduce calories or carbohydrates. We like using monk fruit sweetener, erythritol, or stevia.
