I would love to put raw honey on these. The lemon is really nice though. Thanks for the recipe Jenifer.

I made these and used all coconut flour but they were never batter, more like a crumble and didn’t bake up. What did I do wrong?

You can’t substitute coconut flour for other flours without making additional changes. Coconut flour is really different to work with. You have to add more eggs and sometimes more liquid than that. If you did all coconut flour, I would probably try adding 2-3 more eggs and maybe a touch more milk? I’m not sure. I use both flours to get a better texture. Coconut flour baked goods are often dry…

These are so fluffy and delicious! I made them into little balls and pressed them down lightly to make donut holes. Turned out great!

Questions:
Can you use spelt four or ap flour or whole wheat without an issue – pastry flour? (any flour) if so – what would be the difference
also unrelated – why would somoene use arrowroot powder on fires – what is the benefit?

Hi Natalie–all my recipes on my site are grain-free–so I wouldn’t have the foggiest idea if whole wheat or pastry flour would work–sorry! And I’ve never heard of people putting arrowroot on fires — I have no knowledge on the subject.

These came out pretty dry for me. What would make these fluffier and more moist?

I am trying these this weekend! Can I use whole milk instead of almond milk?
