I am definitely trying this recipe this weekend!!
Oh, fantastic Lorena! Let us know how they turn out. We’ll be trying them out, too, for the holidays and can’t wait!
Thanks! This looks delicious, will definitely be sharing soon 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Jenny! Delish and nutrish – our favorite combo 🙂 Enjoy
Printing NOW. Both my parents are gluten-free and I LOVE that I have a delectable editable to bring to the holidays. Thanks!
Yes, we have many family members that need to watch their sugar intake, so this is a nice treat that won’t make anyone feel like they are compromising taste (or loaded with artificial sweeteners)! Happy (early) holidays!
This sounds and looks so delish! I will definitely bring this to our Thanksgiving feast. I’m in Boulder, so tons of friends are gluten-free and sugar conscious. Thank you!
Sounds great Summer!
Yes, we love the passion for health in the state of Colorado. Haven’t been to Boulder (yet), but looking soo forward to it one of these days – we hear it is beautiful!!
I want to try this for my son. I hate to confess that sometimes I give them the gluten loaded stuff. I can make this in batch for a much healthier alternative.
Oh, we all do the best we can Webly! But, yes, making a batch of this is a great idea. Also, we have a ton of gluten-free recipes that you may enjoy as well in our Healthy Food section. Enjoy: https://ronandlisa.com/category/healthy-food/
WOW! Sounds full-on delish!!! Can’t wait to try it!!
Great April!
Let us know how they turn out. Such a great + easy recipe for the the fall & winter months that is healthy, too 🙂
Oh these were great!!!! Thanks for sharing the recipe I’m always looking for snack recipes for my little and hubby, definitely should have made a double batch though! 🙂
Hi Ashley!
Thanks for your feedback and tip on doubling up. That seems to be the consistent theme here, so duly noted! Healthy holidays to you & yours.
I love finding fruit sweetened desserts! Thank you for sharing this.
Absolutely! They are even more fun to find when they’re guilt-free like this one 🙂 Thanks for your comment.
My daughter and I loved these, but we felt there was a strong after taste. We were trying to figure out what it was. We wondered if it was the flax meal or if it was to much baking soda or baking powder? Any suggestions? We really want to get it right, since they are so good!
