Notes
*Coconut flour will not work - tastes coconut-y and therefore you need to add a lot more sugar to mask the flavor, and it absorbs liquid quickly so the texture isn’t correct
*You MIGHT be able to use oat flour – start with 1 cup and increase as needed until the dough is the correct texture
*Calories are per serving and are an estimation
