Several years ago I came across a fabulous book called Cooking for Celiacs, Colitis, Crohns and IBS. All of the recipes are grain free and are great for those with gut issues. After developing my severe allergy to nuts, I put the book aside because most of the recipes were based on almond meal but I have recently started adapting the recipes so that they are nut free. This recipe is inspired by the macadamia and date cookie from their wonderful book. Even if you don't have a nut allergy, replacing nuts with seeds, makes them school friendly and quite a lot cheaper to make.
