All of my baking recipes are gluten free (bc gluten has plagued my life) and refined sugar free. I use gluten free paleo flour and coconut sugar but these are both a 1:1 ratio with regular flour and sugar, so you can sub if you’re not into the whole “healthy baking” thing – but trust me on the coconut sugar. It’s nutty and toasty and adds a delicious flavor to baked goods.
