How finely do you grind the seeds and pecans? Into a flour, or more coarse? Thanks!

More like a meal; too much grinding and you'll end up with a nut/seed butter.

Wondering if you could substitute stevia for the honey? If so, how much stevia?

I used flax meal in place of the coconut flour, and peanuts instead of pecans. Also used dried cranberries instead of raisins. These are delicious!
