February 26, 2014 at 11:52 amI’m not sure Grizzly Bear Mom. It might work because of the peanut butter. You may have to add a little extra peanut butter but I am not sure.

February 26, 2014 at 2:41 pmAfter thinking about it, I realized, I live alone. I’d be the only one eating them. I’ll make some and be careful not to slop them on the rug.

February 28, 2014 at 12:12 pmI am going to make these. I am substituting dried cherries for the chocolate chips. Let you know what I think.

March 1, 2014 at 11:36 amThese look good but I have no idea of where to find flaxseed and nothing to grind it with. What can be substituted for flax seed?

March 1, 2014 at 12:17 pmYou can just leave it out.
Jill says
March 1, 2014 at 12:20 pmSandra you don’t need to use flax seed in this recipe. I never do. You can pretty much add or take away what you use in these. I do try to add a little extra if something else that I do like if I take something away.

February 27, 2017 at 8:43 amYou can pretty much get flaxseed in any grocery store nowadays – look for Bob’s Red Mill brand – or in stores like Whole Foods, or in health food stores. Comes whole and already ground. The whole seeds don’t do a lot for you. You need to grind them in order to get the nutrition out. I would think wheat germ would also taste good in this recipe, and if one didn’t want to do chocolate, you could substitute it some raisins or dried cranberries, and cinnamon. I think the flax and/or wheat germ would help take the stickiness out of the pb and honey a little bit.
