I’ve made these and love them, but I’m out of almond pulp. Would a mix of maybe oat flour/reg. flour work instead?
I have not tried this recipe with other flour. But you might try using another of my thumbprint cookie recipes as a base instead! https://www.veganricha.com/vegan-pbj-thumbprint-cookies/
