You mention apple sauce in the method but not in the ingredients?
Sorry!
¾ cup (200 ml) applesauce, unsweetened (use Purity baby food – 8-month bottle)
In the directions it says to add nuts and seeds but there are no nuts and seeds listed in the ingredients list, thus no quantities given. Could you please clarify amounts of nuts and seeds?
Oh right – sorry! Same amount as the raisins / dates / dried fruit quantity – so 1/3 of a cup
