Scale

Notes
Recipe Tips and Substitutions
- To make a flax egg, combine 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Allow it to gel before using.
- Regular sugar, coconut sugar, Sucanat, erythritol, or xylitol may all be used in place of the monk fruit sweetener.
- One egg can replace the flax egg.
- Old fashioned oats are my preference for this recipe. Quick cooking oats may be substituted, but the texture will change slightly.
- Fine, blanched almond meal/flour works best here.
