@@FeastingonFruit would it be possible to turn this recipe into cookies ? I love it so much and want to make it easier to bring to work.

[@FeastingonFruit]

@@NathalieWMusic Hmm I think the batter is too runny to really use as drop cookies, they will spread too much. You could get a cookie pan or maybe try these cookies instead: feastingonfruit.com/chocolate-crinkle-cookies/

[@yaracorky8536]

i love your recipes !! can the coconut flour be substituted with another flour?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Coconut flour is so unique any other will throw off the texture, what flour did you want to use? I can point you to an alternate recipe!

[@yaracorky8536]

@@FeastingonFruit yeah it is because coconut is highly absorbant .. but oats flour maybe

[@FeastingonFruit]

@@yaracorky8536 Maybe try this recipe with oat flour instead then: feastingonfruit.com/the-best-healthy-chocolate-cupcakes/

[@SmileyRagDoll]

Do you have any cookie recipes using coconut flour?

[@FeastingonFruit]

I have some with almond and coconut flour, but none with just coconut. It's better for fluffy chewy things, not great for thinner crispy recipes

[@bkgupta88]

Tapioca starch is sabudana flour.

[@FeastingonFruit]

I've never heard that name for it, but could be the same thing!

[@peacetoall1201]

May I ask you what "Sunbutter" is made from? Can I use any vegan butter, or can I use peanut butter or almond butter or cashew butter instead?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Peanut or almond or cashew butter would work! SunButter is just similar but made from sunflower seeds :)

[@peacetoall1201]

@@FeastingonFruit .. Ok, thanks! : )

[@ruthmakumi1641]

Hi what do you use for the frosting 🧁

[@FeastingonFruit]

I used this recipe + 1 tsp mint extract: feastingonfruit.com/gluten-free-vegan-chocolate-cake/#tasty-recipes-15542

[@susiebourneuf4360]

How to do the thing she puts ON the cupcake ? (Is it called frosting?)

[@K.Kitbex]

It's on her site: 1 1/2 cup (180g) raw cashews soaked overnight 1/4 cup (80g) maple syrup 1/4 cup (20g) cacao powder 1/4 cup(50g) coconut oil*** 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp salt All her recipes are perfectly delicious and reliable 😊

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yep always look in the description box for anything not included in the video!

[@Luisawee]

Can I replace the coconut flour with whole wheat flour?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Not for this recipe, the ratios won't work, but you could use whole wheat in place of the cassava here: feastingonfruit.com/easy-vegan-paleo-chocolate-cupcakes/

[@bkgupta88]

My cake turns out to be thick crust outside but seems half cook halva inside while eating. Why is it not fluffy like sweet bread?

[@FeastingonFruit]

This recipe specifically? Sounds like a measuring error possibly or maybe they needed to bake longer!

[@autumnrain7918]

It could also be that you baked it on too high of a temperature.

[@bkgupta88]

@@autumnrain7918 it was baked on cake button where time and temperature is already set whirlpool oven.

[@FeastingonFruit]

@@autumnrain7918 Yep that can cause it too!

[@bkgupta88]

Instead of vinegar can we use 1tb lemon juice.

[@FeastingonFruit]

Yes that will work!

[@bkgupta88]

@@FeastingonFruit which is vegan chocolate? Mention please?

[@charlly6126]

Can I use tea instead of coffee?

[@FeastingonFruit]

Absolutely! I love that idea :)
