Can you make crunchies without coconut?
Yes, you can. Replace some roasted sesame seeds for the desiccated coconut if preferred. Sesame seeds would give this a nutty flavor when added to the oat crunchie biscuits or snack bars. These would make a totally different recipe, as coconut is the preferred ingredient.

It is very simple to replace the honey with the Illovo syrup. The consistency is the same and not to runny. Only the health aspect is different as honey is organic and healthier and provides many benefits.
