I had no sunflower oil and subbed Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I also added 1/4 cup of ground flax seeds, 1/4 cup raw pumpkin seeds and 1/2 cup hulled hemp seeds. Worked out great nice recipe. A definate keeper! Thanks

Just personal preference: I subbed 3/4 c. honey and 1/4 c. maple syrup, with 1/2 c. oil. This was more than enough oil; may try a little less next time. Delicious recipe--thank you for sharing!
