You can always use any oil. Coconut oil just happens to be one of the healthiest, so that’s why they’re using it, I imagine.
use gluten free flour – I bake with it all the time
I was wondering how you would adapt this recipe without the sugar. It looks very yummy
How would you substitute honey for brown sugar?
What could be used instead of the yogurt? Would increasing the applesauce provide the needed wetness?
I like Glenda’s idea of using almond flour instead of the wheat flower. Tasty and more protein.
