Hi. Can I use almond flour or oat flour?
Sami Smith
I don't think you can sub almond or oat flour for the gluten-free flour in this recipe as they usually aren't a 1-to-1 substitute.

Could you do an egg sub?
Sami Smith
Hi! Hm, I haven't tried any egg substitutes myself but I think your best bet would be an egg replacement, such as the egg replacer from Bob's Red Mill. You can also try a flax egg or chia egg but I don't think they will yield the same result as an egg will in this recipe.

I omitted the white sugar to stay refined sugar free. They were sweet enough with the coconut sugar. These were perfect, def a keeper!
Sami Smith
Hi Carrie! This makes me SO happy to hear! I'm so glad you were able to use coconut sugar and enjoyed them!:)
Cira
Did you use brown sugar also? Or just the coconut sugar?
ANDREA A OBERMAYER
The recipe calls for 1 egg and then one egg yolk, then it says add egg. Is it both whole egg and egg yolk?
Sami Smith
Hi Andrea! Yes, when I said to add the egg, I meant both the egg and egg yolk. Sorry for the lack of clarity there:)
Kristen
Do they need to be refrigerated to stay good?
