Notes

**Nutritional facts are just estimates. Please utilize your own brand nutritional values to double check against our estimates. 
*Top 8 Allergen Notes: If wheat allergy, replace flour with Cup for Cup Gluten Free flour. If tree nut allergies are a concern, skip adding the optional walnut pieces and you can replace the coconut oil with any mild flavored oil or your favorite dairy free safe butter. No other Top 8 allergens should be present, but as always double check your labels.
