I loved that recipes!
I mixed raisins with chocolate chips and reduced sugar to 1/4 c. I also added about 1/4 c of aquafaba because I had some on hand. Everyone loved them!!! Although they were sweet enough some of us topped them with melted chocolate !
Awesome
I was looking for a coconut cake recipe, oil and refined sugar free. this looks perfect, but do you have any ideas on the baking time for a 9 inch pan? or maybe 2 9 inch pans? Do you think there would there be any alterations on the batter? I appreciate any ideas!
Yes it will work just fine. Bake for 40-50 mins. Check at 40 min if it’s done
delicious!! was looking for something to bake this morning and came across this recipe! Easy to make and turned out so well. I like the subtleness of the coconut! Looking forward to sharing these!
Thanks Richa!
What is a substitute for maple syrup? Doesn’t have to be vegan
And also — if I use milk (1%, 2%) do I have to add more/less than what the non-dairy milk ingredient calls for?
coconut sugar is perfect or unrefined or raw sugar or beet sugar, fructose, organic sugar, unbleached cane sugar, turbinado sugar, date sugar, maple crystals, I would increase the non-dairy milk by 1/4 cup to make up for the liquid.
