Notes
Almond Flour. I haven't tested the recipe using any other type of gluten-free flour. Therefore, I don't have any substitution suggestions to share.Baking Powder. It is very important to make sure the baking powder is fresh to get the best results.Pumpkin Pie Spice. I like to use this high-quality organic pumpkin pie spice. However, feel free to use your favorite brand.Himalayan Pink Salt. This is my salt of preference, however, you can always substitute with sea salt.Maple Syrup. I haven't tested the recipe with another liquid sweetener or a granular sweetener.Blender. A Vitamix is always my blender of choice. However, you should be able to use a regular blender for this recipe since there are no "hard" or "difficult" ingredients to blend.However, if you do use a Vitamix, it's very important to add the wet ingredients first and the dry ingredients second for the mixture to blend properly.
