Can you switch out the flour for gluten free or almond? And what would you switch the vegetable oil for?
Hi Hailey!
I haven't tried switching out with gluten free flour but if I were to, I'd use the Bob's Red Mill 1:1 in place of the wheat flour. For the vegetable oil you could try applesauce instead. I hope it turns out for you! 🙂
