Karielyn's Expert Tips + Ingredient Substitutions
Here are some of my expert tips to make this recipe perfectly:
Oat Flour: If you don't have oat flour on hand, you can use your Vitamix to make it. Simply add the oats to your Vitamix and blend on HIGH speed until the oats turn into a flour-consistency.
Homemade Almond Milk: Using homemade almond milk is my preference, however, you can use your favorite non-dairy milk. Another great option is Joi Organic Almond Milk which is made with 100% organic almonds.
Coconut Oil: If you don't like the taste or smell of coconut oil, you can use organic refined coconut oil which has zero coconut taste and smell.
Coconut Sugar: This can be substituted with your favorite organic unrefined granular sweetener.
Baking Powder: Make sure it's fresh for the best results!
Vanilla Bean Powder: If you don't need the recipe to be 100% Medical Medium compliant, you can substitute with organic pure vanilla extract in the same amount.
Himalayan Pink Salt: This is my salt of preference, however, it can always be substituted with sea salt.
Wild Blueberries: They can be substituted with the larger cultivated blueberries or another fruit such as peaches, strawberries or even dark cherries.
Chia Seeds: I added these to increase the nutritional profile in the filling, but they can be omitted if you prefer.
