Since the majority of recipes on this site are tailored to the Daniel Fast, I will offer the disclaimer that I would not eat this recipe when strictly following the Daniel Fast since it contains maple syrup, but it’s something I enjoy throughout the year as a simple recipe for a healthy homemade snack.
