    Baking powder isn’t in your ingredient list, but is in the instructions.

      Hi there!

      Thanks again for commenting. We’ve just heard back from the recipe creator: 1 tsp is the amount you’re looking for.

      Enjoy!

      Hi, Nadia!

      Thank you for the comment. No particular brand is needed – you can absolutely make your own using flax seed!

    Can I replace the glutenfree flour by a normal one and shall then other ingredients be removed completely or does the recipe remain the same?
    Thanks, Caroline

      Hi, Caroline!

      You can absolutely replace gluten-free flour with a standard, all purpose flour. Shouldn’t require any additional changes!

    Hi! I’m willing to make these but I’m going to use regular all purpose flour; question is.. is the guar gum still necessary?

      Hi, Silvia.

      We can’t say for certain, but it may not be necessary given the more binding nature of all purpose flour. The only way to find out is to give it a try!

      Good luck and let us know how it goes,

      SAME! This didn’t work for me at all and I’m a skilled baker (used to own a bakery!) Mine turned into flat toast LOL. Flavour still good though!
