    • Hi Julie, I have never tried this recipe with Almond flour.
      Just remember: Almond flour is a little more moist than wheat flour, and doesn’t have quite the same binding qualities. You’ll do best to substitute 1:1 to begin with, as many recipes respond well to this direct replacement. But be prepared to add more almond flour as you go to compensate for the wetter batter. It is also important to note that almond flour may require more egg to bind the flour.
      Something else to keep in mind: Since baking powder contains baking soda, baking powder cannot be used in almond flour baking. Instead, eggs (or applesauce or bananas) can be used as the leavening agent to help baked goods rise and achieve a light and fluffy texture.
      I hope this will help you when testing out this recipe.
      Please do let us know once you made it what you did and how it turned out. Thanks Julie
