jenny chairez gonzalez says
can i deep fry these?
Robin Gagnon says
I haven't tried it.
Andrea says
can i substitute the xanthan gum with something else?
Robin Gagnon says
Guar gum would be closest. You may have some luck with ground chia seeds... but I don't guarantee it.
Eugenia says
You can substitute for guar gum.
Vivian says
How much swerve can I use to substitute the Stevia
Robin Gagnon says
I expect about a 1/4 cup of Swerve.
Kim Labreche says
I have a sweetener conversion chart if you are interested. Email me and I can send I word version. This will not let me attach it.
Ry says
Is there a way to use more almond flour in replacement of the coconut flour? Or coconut flakes?
Robin Gagnon says
I couldn't give you exact measures on it. I don't think the flakes would be a good idea.
Kris says
Mine just fell apart. I followed recipe
Robin Gagnon says
I am sorry to hear that. The egg and Xanthan gum are the primary binders in this. Was your egg possibly smaller in size?
Dv says
It could be that If you used the metric measurements as stated in the recipe card, you may have used too much almond flour. MY bag of almond flour (Blue DIamond) is calculated at 84g for 3/4C . Not 100g . Just an idea...
Maria says
Can you use liquid stevia instead of powder? Is it the same measurement?
Robin Gagnon says
It may vary by brand, but the converter on the Sweetleaf website equates 2 tsp powdered to 2/3 of a teaspoon of liquid.
