This looks so great! I would love to try it, but I am allergic to almonds. Any tips for a substitution to the almond flour? If I used coconut flour any tips for the amount or any additional ingredients to add with it?
Thanks!
Hi Erin – Unfortunately, I haven’t made this recipe with coconut flour, so I can’t say on amounts and how you would need to change the recipe to work for your needs. Thanks!
