Hi Manjula Ji,
I wonder if honey could be substitited for sugar in this recipe? I am making GAPS sweets for my kids and I find that honey is indeed a healthier alternative to white sugar. Since its sweeter than sugar, would I have to add less? Must say I love the idea of adding flaxseed to any sweet. i’m going to try adding a little cocoa powder for my chocolate loving kids and see how that turns out!!!
Love your recipes!!
