I am wondering can regular flour be used instead of coconut flour? How much of it will be required?
Elana says
Kamran, I haven’t used regular flour since 1997.

very helpful, however, I am dealing with an older adult man, picky regarding food, however, his diabetic numbers are usually running high, and for 3 meals a day, seems to be getting pretty difficult to fix and or find anything he can can eat and still keep his numbers low or at least lower. I am planning on trying some of your receipes.
Elana says
Sorry to hear that! I hope you’ll keep me posted on your and his progress :-)

Yummmm!! Thanks for this website Elana-Love it. I played with this for future reference for myself. I made a few full-sized muffins also, they cooked in 13 minutes and were great. Also made a (big) cookie with the batter. Regular-sized cookie would cook in 12 minutes I think. Holds together well; kindof like a sweet scone….

Hollyann, that sounds amazing!
