  1. My daughter has a severe nut allergy. Can coconut flour be used instead? How would that change the flavor? If it works, would I use the same amount of coconut flour as almond flour?
    Thanks so much!

    1. We haven’t tested that so we can’t say for sure, but it’s definitely worth a try! If you test it out, please let us know how it goes!

  2. You might try using finely ground sunflower seeds, or another paleo friendly flour like cassava, if the carb count isn’t so important for you.
