    Hi, Champange. Yes, Sprouts absolutely would have them. If you are not gluten-sensitive, you can use whole wheat flour instead of brown rice flour, and if you do dairy, you can use regular butter and a few drops of coconut extract (in the baking section) if you want the flavor. You can also omit the sweetener – if you use real maple syrup on these, they will be sweet enough. To control costs (for example, real maple syrup is at least twice as much as the regular fake stuff, but infinitely healthier), you can cut back on amounts, which will also mean you get less sugar.

    I would love to make these, but these ingredients are strange to me. I know of wheat flour, and coconut milk, but I am on a very limited budget and these items here in Arizona are expensive, like 1/4 to 1/3 of my monthly budget. What can I use instead? And would these be available at Sprouts, as there is no Whole Foods near me?

    For those gluten-free individuals who are concerned about oats, you can substitute with whole grain rice and/or quinoa flour (do toast the quinoa flour first).
    Almond milk is a great substitute for coconut milk here, and will make the flavor more like marzipan.
    Alternatives to banana include other starchy fruits, including pureed apple, pear, and jackfruit (1/2 cup for the banana); if you use pureed apple or pear, add another 2 tablespoons of flour.

    Hi for all those in the UK, I made these and family loved them, I used oat and linseed flour bought fom Morrisons. I halved the amounts as it was too much, so used two teaspoons (equivalent) of Truvia powder still added a whole banana. Wow topped with a little Maple syrup these were great. the chewy Linseed seeds added to the texture, would highly recommend.
