Hello
I am wondering if I could substitute something for honey? But not maple syrup as I am sensitive. Looking forward to making these…I am gluten and wheat free and haven’t had a treat in so long… Love your recipes. Thank you!
use the sweetener you prefer, google how to substitute.
can i please ask what is the difference between arrowroot flour and tapioca flour and does it matter?
It definitely matters!! While corn starch, arrowroot starch, potato starch and tapioca starch are similar in their use and performance their differences are unique. For example if you thicken gravy with each of these you will see the difference. Tapioca is too gummy/stringy for gravy by itself and likewise if used alone in baked goods they become too wet/heavy/starchy. Arrowroot is a lighter starch which balances out the tapioca. Arrowroot is also more expensive for many people so it’s not ideal…
Can you adjust sweeteners to make these Keto?
You are welcome to swap sweeteners however the starch and fruit will keep the carb counts too high for keto.
