Notes

Almond flour: If you don’t have almond flour you can make your own almond meal and use that. All you need to do is blend about 1 cup of raw almonds in a high-power blender or coffee grinder until it turns into a sand-like texture. Then use 1 cup of almond meal instead of 1 cup of almond flour for this recipe.
Almond Butter: You can replace almond butter with peanut butter, sun (sunflower seed) butter, or tahini (ground-up sesame seeds). These nut butters can be runnier than almond butter, add more almond flour as needed until you get a dough-like consistency.
Nut free: Replace 1 cup almond flour with 1 cup buckwheat flour (to make your own ground buckwheat groats in a high-power blender). Then use 1 cup of tahini or sun butter instead of 1 cup of almond butter.
