Swaps

Less sweet: halve the maple syrup and round off with cinnamon, vanilla or a few berries | hazelnuts → walnuts (more omega-3 fatty acids) | almonds → pecans (milder, with fibre)

Allergens

Contains tree nuts (hazelnuts, almonds), so it's not suitable for people with a nut allergy. For children, only sensible with a suitable texture because of the hard nut pieces; during pregnancy, the ingredients are usually fine in normal amounts.
