FAQS

Does Rye Flour work in this recipe? Yes, but start with just 1 cup of Flour and adjust.

Can I use butter instead of coconut oil? Yes, same measurements

Do sugar alternatives work? Yes but adjust to taste as not all are 1:1 ratio

Notes

You can easily adjust this recipe to different whole grain flours such as whole wheat, spelt, einkorn, or rye. I would suggest you add just a cup at first to test the texture and add more if needed.

Chocolate chips can be adjusted to your preference, any type works. 

You can also add an optional 2 tsp of Vanilla extract for more flavor.
