I confess I have for the first time ever been craving Fall foods in August! These look and sound delicious, can’t wait to try them. Thanks!
Just put this in the oven. There was nothing to ‘pour’, the mixture would not even hold together so I added a second egg. Fingers crossed. Headed out for dinner with family as soon as it emerges from the oven and this is dessert!
Melissa,
I’m not sure what brand of flour you used, but that could be why … Hope they turned out OK!

Would coconut flour work for these?
Angela,
Unfortunately no, coconut flour is very different and it can’t be substituted 1 for 1 with regular gluten free flour.
Happy Holidays,
Carol
Have made this recipe several times, it’s amazing! A note that I would add personally is the amount of flour called for is much too plentiful; learned that lesson the hard way.
So how much flour do you use? I would like to try the recipe.
Thanks!
Hi Viv,
1 1/4 cups flour.
Enjoy,
Carol
