What can be used to replace the almond flour and coconut oil? I have an intolerance to both of those.
Hi Amy
I haven’t tried this recipe with another nut flour but you could use a nut flour you tolerate as a replacement (let me know which one and how it goes if you do). You could also substitute the coconut oil with another liquid oil that you know you can tolerate. Again, I haven’t tried this so please let me know how you go.
