This was a little time consuming to prep but came together easily. I wonder if Tahini could be used instead of almond butter. The mix ins would seem flexible depending on what you have on hand.

I love using tahini in this recipe Emily! I also sub coconut milk for the apple cider and sub chopped dates for the raisins sometimes depending on what I have on hand!
