In reply to Bonnie Joe-Leonn. Might help work? It’s a complete protein, and you can also get hemp protein powder. Just an idea…

There is a product by Coconut Secret called Coconut Crystals
Its made from tapping the tree – the sap is naturally sweet (from the coconut blossoms) – and dried.
It is sweet but NOT coconutty at all in flavour – it looks like flaky brown sugar but doesn’t really taste like brown sugar but its sweet .

It is Organic, Low Glycemic, Gluten-free, Non-GMO, Vegan
GI 35, Vitamin C, broad spectrum B vitamins, 17 amino acids and a nearly neutral PH.

I discovered this by accident because my blood sugar was getting too high.
I know this sounds like an ad, but am not in any way related to the product or suppliers but sharing this information because it really helped me.
I use it for everything (I need a sweetener for) instead of sugar in recipes, in my coffee, lemonade, tea you get the picture. I have completely eliminated cane sugar from my diet. I tried the recipe with coconut oil, the coconut crystals and it was great.
I mention that it it does not taste like coconut at all – I am from the Caribbean and love all things coconut, just mentioning because I am not adverse to coconut flavor, but this does not have a coconut flavor.

I was hesitant about a half pound of butter(!) and I see why. Flavor ok, because, well – butter. A good crisp is more than just that, however. Way too much in my estimation….didn’t give the almond or coconut flours a chance to crisp up. I’ve made crisps a million times – all kinds – never have I encountered a recipe that calls for so much. This isn’t a typo is it?

Looks good but I’m allergic to coconut- what can I use instead of ingredients with coconut? Anything that has coconut in it sends me to the hospital with hives. Ruth

I made this, and the topping was so awful! I ended taking it off and using Stevia brown sugar. Much better!

I like the idea of paleo diet, unfortunately coconut is a common substitute for wheat flour which causes an even worse gut reaction than gluten in me including a migraine on top of it all. Any suggestions as a substitute for the coconut flour and coconut sugar and coconut oil, so its still paleo and edible.

In reply to Lucy.

it was really weird that there was no print button, but…….. when I hit print it only printed out the recipe NOT all the advertising! Good Luck! I cant wait to try the recipe!

I’m allergic to all nuts (except coconut of course). What can I substitute for almond flour? Many of your recipes include nuts or thier by-products.
