Hi Linez, LSA is a mix of ground linseeds, sunflower seeds and almonds. Here in Australia, you can find it in the health food aisle of supermarkets, however if you cannot find it near you, you could either make your own or use almond meal. Enjoy!

Hi! I live in the US on an island, called
Nantucket. I am a self taught chef and admire your cooking style enormously.
Would love to make these, however what is LSA?
Thanks so much!

Hi Lindsay, To make this nut free, you can replace the pecans and LSA with toasted sunflower or pepita seeds. To make the crunchy coating, replace the LSA with extra roughly chopped toasted sunflower or pepita seeds. Hope this helps! DH Team

Could you replace the pecans with anything to make it nut free for school?

these are absolutely beautiful, so yummy! i used a bag of mixed nuts (instead of pecans) on the second patch, and turned out just the same, a slightly different taste but still nice.
