This is looking amazingggg
Can I substitute almond flour for white spelt flour?
I haven’t tried but feel free to experiment and see!
These were amazing! I subbed one cup of coconut flour since I didn’t have enough almond flour. And for the topping – I melted a Lindt dark chocolate w sea salt bar. Perfection!! Thank you for an amazing recipe.
You are so welcome!
What do you recommend as a good substitution for coconut oil? I am allergic to all things coconut:(
You can try butter, I’m not a huge fan of the flavor, but it works!
Loved the simplicity of this recipe in both ingredients and method! Tasted so so good too. I followed the recipe except that I made a “test batch” and halved the ingredients list. Everyone at home loved them and wanted more! Will have to make more very soon. This was perfect for someone with dietary restrictions. Made it SCD friendly and dairy-free as well by using ‘Enjoy life’ choco chips! Definitely have to try out more recipes, thanks Arman!
🙂 You are so welcome, Safina!
So. freaking. good. Thank you!!
I made it the first time as-is, and it was delicious!! Pretty heavy on the maple syrup flavor, though.
The second time around, I changed it up and added peanut butter. This is my exact amount(s):
1/4 C maple syrup
1/3 C coconut oil
1/2 C natural smooth peanut butter
The rest of the ingredients I kept, and let me tell you- AMAZING!! Even better than the original. So creamy, just the right texture and taste.
