Is it possible to use almond flour instead of the gluten free flour? Been using it in my banana breads and it is fabulous! Thank you!
you can try, I have not made it with almond flour, so I don’t know how the cake will turn out, sorry Karen.

Simple and amazing and not just for breakfast! Thanks for a fresh light desert that doesn't taste gluten free.
