      Looks like I can’t spell either 🙂 mobile phones not so great for typing 🙂

      Allergic to flax – can I add chia seed instead?

        Can’t confirm since this recipe wasn’t tested with chia, but you can give it a try!

      Clarification on milk – you initially add 1 1/8 cupbof milk in first segment of recipe, the add another 1 cup in the latter part of the recipe ?

      I apologize for being thick – before coffee 🙂

        Yes, coconut flour sucks up a lot of liquid.

      Can you use soy or almond milk in place of the coconut milk

        Hi Teri – Yes, your favorite milk alternative should work just fine.
