Notes
Recipe Notes
- I used a gluten-free flour for this recipe (Cup 4 Cup Wholesome Gluten Free Flour). You can use any all-purpose flour (gluten-free or regular) or whole wheat pastry flour for this recipe. Regular whole wheat flour will have more dense results, so if you prefer that either be prepared for a different texture, or you can use 1/2 whole wheat and 1/2 all-purpose. I haven’t tested it, but oat flour will likely work as well. I don’t recommend almond flour or coconut flour for this recipe.
- If you prefer no added sugar, you may substitute erythritol or a monk fruit sweetener for this recipe in the same amount. Regular granulated sugar will also work.
