Notes
- * Use smooth and preferably drizzly peanut butter. If the peanut butter has been refrigerated or very thick, mix it with maple syrup/honey and microwave it for 15 - 20 secs or until smooth.
- ** The ground flax seeds and chia seeds both absorb liquid. If the dough gets too dry or crumbly, add 2 -3 tablespoons of nut milk.
