I have plans to remake this recipe using coconut flour instead of all-purpose, but I haven’t gotten around to fiddling with it yet. I know I’ll have to add more eggs and use significantly less than the 3 cups called for with the regular flour, so it’s going to take some trial and error. I’ll let you guys know if I can get it right!
