Recipe Tips
Do not give honey to a child under one year of age. To make allergen friendly, swap out the ingredients to fit your family’s needs. For example, use gluten-free crisped rice cereal and gluten-free oats to make gluten-free. Replace peanut butter with your favorite nut butter, such as almond butter, to make it peanut-free.
