    For the chocolate pecan pie bars, can I use duck eggs? Is so, how many? Thank you.

      I’ve never used duck eggs before, so I googled it. This says, “If you are using duck eggs in a recipe that calls for chicken eggs, a good rule of thumb is to use two duck eggs in place of every three large chicken eggs.” The filling calls for 3 eggs, so according to that site, you’d use 2. However, other sites say you can use them as a 1:1 replacement. As I said in the post, pecan pie filling is very finicky. I wouldn’t risk it. But if you feel like experimenting, I think 2 is a safer bet than 3.

    Hi Erin, I’ve tried some of your delicious recipes, and they’re wonderful!
    I agree that you should go to Santorini and Provence. I’ve had a chance to see both, and they were amazing places! Also, I grew up in Germany, so your German-sounding URL was what got my attention. Although I’ve never made it to Sweden, one of the best trips I ever took was to Ireland.
    Thank you for sharing your creations here! Blessings to you!

Such lovely people there. :) Santorini is so incredibly expensive to get to from Munich. But hopefully we can go one day. I’m glad that you’ve had the chance to go. :) Thanks for your lovely comment and ich wünsche dir ein schönes Wochenende!

    Hi just letting you know I made The Best Gluten Free Fudgy Brownies (dairy free) yesterday & they were a huge hit with my hubby!!!
    I did change the recipe a little I used 1/2 cup of SR GFlour & 1/2 cup of almond with an extra 1/3 of a cup.
    I also added one tsp of cinnamon for a spice flavour & they turned out so moist & tasty.
    I didnt have any refined coconut oil so there is an over taste of coconut but who cares they are so delicious.
    The choc chips I used were sugar free.
    Thank you for your amazing recipes it makes life easier with baking vegan GF DF & all tasting amazing.

I’m sorry to say that I don’t have a zucchini bread recipe. :( I find zucchini recipes very difficult because the water content of zucchini varies so much.

    Hello Erin,
    I’m interested in your yummy sounding GF peanut butter cookies with the
    coconut sugar. I’m confused about your instruction to ‘divide into 8 50gram balls & place on a prepared cookie sheet.’ Are you saying that this recipe only makes 8 cookies?? That can’t be. Also, I don’t know what “50grams” looks like. I’m sure there’s an obvious explanation for all this.

    Thanks for your help.

      Hello! Sorry for just now replying. I’m on vacation and haven’t been online. Yes, the recipe only makes 8 large cookies. I tested it tons of times and the dough weighs 400 grams. So that equals 8 cookies (or balls of dough) that each weigh 50 grams. If you don’t have a scale, you can just divide the dough into 8 balls. That works fine. :) But they shouldn’t be bigger or smaller as the baking time will be off and I tested these several times to get the perfect baking time. It’s not as simple as with regular cookies. I hope that helps!

    I have made these twice, and my oven temperature is correct per oven thermometer. I usde Bobs Redmill 1-1 gluten free for the flour, unsalted butter and coconut oil. Followed the recipe exactly. Cooked 23 minutes and they were not done throughout most of the middle. Any suggestions? My desire is to serve at a large party, but if they are too gooey, than I can not cut them up and put on a tray.
    They indeed are great on flavor.

      Hello! I haven’t tried it but I double and even quadruple recipes all the time without issues (I know that they say you don’t have to double salt, etc. – but I’ve never had an issue with it!) So if a recipe yields 8 and you want 12, your husband is right in that he can just do 1.5x the recipe and it’ll work. :) Good luck!

      I normally bend over backward to help people troubleshoot (even when they’ve clearly done something wrong) but since you weren’t very friendly with your comment, I’m not going to do that. You left this comment on the contact page rather than on the recipe so I don’t know which recipe you made. But since you said you have no idea where these reviews come from, there are clearly reviews for the recipe. What that means is that you messed up. You most likely used the wrong ingredient. I’m guessing you might live outside of the US and have an ingredients issue. But I won’t elaborate. If you had just asked for help instead of calling the recipe rubbish and implying that all the reviewers were wrong and you’re the one person who made them according to the recipe, I would’ve been glad to help. :)

I’ve gotten a ton of reviews on that recipe but nobody has ever described that problem. It could be that your scale was off for a moment and you used too much coconut oil. It happens to me sometimes! I’m happy that they were at least delicious!

        September 7, 2020 @ 8:26 pm

        Hi Erin, not to worry. By reducing the fat I meant using a little less oil or butter. That’s what I have done (20g less) and the cookies are perfect!!! When you said that my “failed” first attempt might have been due to me using other brands, I realised that the culprit might have been the almond flour, which tends to be much coarser in the UK (almost like ground almond). This means it has a smaller surface area and hence does not absorb as much of the oil, which made the dough runny. I will try a lot more of your recipes, all of them look amazing! Again, many thanks for your help and all the best, Lina

          Oh, great! I’m glad you figured it out. :) I live in Germany and ground almonds is the right stuff to use (at least, German ground almonds = US almond flour! The German product which translates to almond flour is actually deoiled almond flour. That’s a product we don’t even have in the US! That’s the wrong stuff). It’s all super confusing. I made those cookies several times with German almond flour and the result is much different than using Bob’s Red Mill from the US. But they still weren’t a puddle! Thanks for coming back to let me know you found a way to make it work. :)

I have not found a store-bought one this good. I used monk fruit sweetener, but will try coconut sugar next time, because there will definitely be a next time I make these.

    Hi Erin!

    I just tried your Perfect Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies but the batter didnt turn out like yours in the pictures and the first batch of cookies didnt either :(

    So what i did was use dark brown and light brown sugar, and chunky peanut butter. I also used coconut oil and not butter. The batter turned out liquid-ie and the cookies turned out flat and they spread out huge and they don’t hold :( they keep breaking.

    I put the batter in the fridge, hoping that when it cools, maybe the batter will hold better.

    In the meantime, do you have any recommendations? pleasee :(

    Also, i think my coconut oil leaves an aftertaste I dont quite like, do you have any ideas what I can do about that? Or is that normal?

    Thanks in advance Erin! I hope to hear from you soon

      Hi Nada! Did you read in the recipe post where it says, “Can I use something instead of almond butter?” I said I’ve tried using peanut butter but didn’t like the results. So I really don’t recommend using peanut butter. And above it says, “I spent 4 years trying to make the below paleo chocolate chip cookie recipe with peanut butter. I didn’t like the results.” So there’s one big issue. Also, was your coconut oil melted or solid? Did you make any other changes? Use a scale to weigh the ingredients? If you don’t have coconut taste, you should always use refined coconut oil instead of the regular unrefined stuff. :)

    My daughter is gluten free and desperate for a ‘bakery made gluten free cupcake’. Let me be clear, I can’t bake to save my life, which is why I usually buy gluten free baked goods.

    Thanks to Covid-19, I have been forced to try and bake gluten free goods for my daughter! After many failed attempts to bake a chocolate-y, moist, fluffy cupcake, I experienced success with your recipe!

    Thank you Thank you Thank you for sharing this recipe. These gluten free chocolate cupcakes are hands down, THE BEST recipe, yielding the BEST gluten chocolate cupcakes known to gluten free mouths worldwide! Take that Corona Virus! haha!

    Hi Erin can I use whole wheat flour in place of oat flour in the strawberry rhubarb crisp?

      Hello! It’s unfortunately not interchangeable with oat flour. You can make your own oat flour by processing oats in a food processor, coffee grinder or high-speed blender, though. :)

    Hi Erin,
    I want to make the Chocolate Hazelnut Fudge, but I can’t find toasted Hazelnut butter anywhere. Can you tell me where to find it? Also – the footnote refers to a post to make your own – can you please help me find that post?
    thank you!

        Thank you – I see it now!
        Also, the instructions say
        3/4 cups (83 grams) + 1/4 cup (28 grams) toasted hazelnuts, chopped, optional
        Why not just 1 Cup (111 grams)?

          Check out Step 2. :) They’re divided. 3/4 cup in the fudge and another 1/4 on top.

    Hi there!
    I’m gearing up for a bake sale and I have been assigned with making the gluten-free goodies. I would like to make the maple cinnamon candied almonds, pumpkin cupcakes with healthier cream cheese frosting, coconut flour cookies with chocolate chips, and chewy paleo ginger cookies.

    Do you think these would all hold up well for a bake sale? I’m going to put the cupcakes in boxes and probably use cellophane bags for the rest.

    Thanks for all your great recipes, I really enjoy them!

    Sincerely,

    Valerie

      Hi! The almonds would be great. You’d need to make the firmer version of the frosting for the cupcakes (see the notes below the recipe). The chocolate chip cookies are super soft on the second day and might stick together a little. I’d recommend the perfect paleo chocolate chip cookies instead. They’d be a much better option for packing up. The ginger cookies would work but think these paleo gingerbread cookies would be firmer and better for packing. Plus there’s a vegan option which should make a few vegans happy. :) I’m happy to hear you’ve been enjoying the recipes! Good luck with the bake sale.

    Hi Erin! I just came across your site while searching for a paleo and vegan apple crisp recipe. Yours looks divine; about to make it with my girls :) You look so familiar; did you ever work at a girl scout summer camp on lake Texoma? I think I may have co-counselored with you. Thanks for the recipe!

      Hi there! I hope you all enjoyed the crisp. :) I’ve never worked at a Girl Scout summer camp but I was in Girls Scouts until 5th grade and met a girl named Violet through a mutual friend, Megan. I’m from Plano but Violet was from another suburb. Was that you? :)

    I just subscribed to your emailing list (yay!) but I have been using your recipes for a while now. Your grain-free lemon muffins are a go-to family favorite! I was noticing, however, that a lot of your recipes do use things like spelt flour etc.
    I was wondering if you have any Molasses/gingerbread cookie recipes that use almond flour? I didn’t see any, but I might not have been diligent enough. My parents are on the Keto diet, but we cheat sometimes, with things like molasses etc. Thanks for running such a wonderful blog! I will be making your raspberry thumbprint cookies next! (I tried to send this message in a different format, but it didn’t SEEM to work. I am horrible with tech :) So if you see a duplicate, it’s me not trying to be obnoxious. Hi!)

      Thanks for subscribing! :) My blog started off as a whole grain baking blog so lots of the old recipes don’t have any GF options. The last few years, all recipes have been GF or have included a GF option. :) And you’re in luck because I have three molasses / gingerbread cookies that use almond flour! These paleo gingerbread cookies are my favorite. These paleo gingerbread men cookies are fun if you have some spare time to fiddle with rolling out the dough and these paleo ginger cookies are nice but I prefer the first one because the texture is really just like a regular cookie. I hope you’ll enjoy them and the thumbprints! I’d love to hear how they come out.

    My cookies did not turn out well! They looked like no bake cookies. still gooey in the middle and looks like they didnt bake, even though i put them in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes! I had these once before and they worked! Not sure what it was this time. Can you think of anything I did wrong. Was the walnut butter not soft enough?

    Let me know!

      I don’t have any sugar-free recipes (all my recipes use natural sweeteners) but I have these chocolate chip paleo cookies that are grain-free and use coconut sugar. Far from sugar-free, though!

      Hi there! What a nice comment. :) Thank you! I’m happy that you like the recipes. I do have a cookbook but it’s about whole grain baking and not GF baking (my focus has changed a bit over the last few years). It’s called The Sweet Side of Ancient Grains. Thanks again for your kind words!

          You can get it here on Amazon but very few recipes are gluten-free (it’s a whole grain baking book) and none of the recipes are sugar-free. Just mentioning that so you’re not disappointed!

    I was not eager to replace my good old pumpkin pie recipe, but I am currently relegated to a gluten free, grain free, egg free (and nightshade and soy free) life! Your pumpkin pie recipe with the almond crust was SPECTACULAR! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of the work you put into creating that recipe. After 3 years I can finally have pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving again.

    Hi Erin, I recently saw your recipe for whole wheat pumpkin cupcakes. They looked delicious, and I was planning on making them for a party I’m attending tomorrow night. But today when I tried to pull up the recipe, it said that the webpage couldn’t be found. If you still have the recipe, would you mind sending it to me? :)

    Just a note on sticking Bundt cakes. I’ve always used butter (I remember when PAM first came out and it was terrible to direct), but I noticed that all the recipes that are specific say to be sure to coat all the the ridges all the way in. I go through the effort to do this and don’t have sticking issues. In fact, coating the butter will reveal if some places were missed (for me in the wider areas, never the ridges) and then I take a skewer or Popsicle stick to dab soft butter in that spot, and then coat it. I’ve only had one cake tear, and that was when my son interrupted me and I apparently turned it out too soon.

      A lot of people are saying that they don’t have issues with butter so I’m thinking that maybe it was just my pan with the issue. I really made sure to get all the nooks and crannies but after the first few cakes, they always stuck! The pan had a lot of scratches in it. I don’t know but maybe that has something to do with it? I’ll definitely try using just butter again! Thanks so much for the tip. :)

    I have been making whole grain and real ingredient changes to meals for years and recently began getting into the gluten free scene due to a family member with a wheat allergy, but I have had dismal luck with baking. I have to tell you thank you for your recipes. They are amazing and exactly what I’ve been looking for! Everything I have tried so far has been delicious. You have a gift!

      Thanks so much for your kind words, Roxanne. :) I’m thrilled that the recipes have come out well so far! I also had a terrible time with gluten-free baking at the beginning. I think it was a combination of bad recipes and not really knowing what I was doing. I’m so happy to be over that stage. ;) Your comment made my week so thanks again!
