Oh my...how did I miss this one. If I used, hmm, lets say banana flour and young coconut flour in place of almonds, oats, and flax, would that still be good? Excellent picture, by the way.

I would think they would work. The oat/almond/flax flours are more for texture and body than for flavor. Try it and let me know how it works! I'm always looking for non-nut/seed recipes!!!
