Is there a reason why nutrition content isn’t provided? All the ingredients are healthy but it’s good to understand how much you’re eating of each nutrient type. Especially if like me you can get carried away with portion sizes!
I used to not add nutrition info to my recipes. I have over 300 recipes so I haven't had the time to update all of them with the info. All newer recipes have the info listed.

Can I leave out the shredded coconut?
I personally never tried the recipe without shredded coconut so I cannot guarantee you will achieve the same texture.
Paige
They’re so delicious!! My new favorite treat!
Whoot whoot! 🙂
Julie
Could I use almond butter in this recipe instead of the peanut butter?
Yes, but make sure the almond butter is nice and drippy and not thick or clumpy.

Is it possible to have the measurements in grams?
Love your recipes❤️
Yay! 🙂
Grams are hard to convert without actually using a scale to measure. I wouldn't want to just put conversions without measuring for myself. I don't have a scale at this time, but maybe I will do this in the future. You can try an online calculator that converts cups to grams, but as I said, it won't be perfect. You will have to play around with the measurements a bit.
