Making these today. What could I use instead of honey?
I used organic maple syrup and they came out great!
I was going to suggest 100% maple syrup as well – that’s my favorite honey substitute! Yum!
These are delicious, thanks! I love how simple the recipe is. I’ll be keeping these in my fridge all the time.
You’re so welcome Nicole! I know, I always have some around too – they’re SO good! ?
