INGREDIENT CHOICES AND SUBSTITUTIONS
I like to use a mix of oat flour and gluten free plain flour because I think exclusively using plain flour can make the cakes a little dry and the oat flour makes a lighter, fluffier base so the mix creates something that rises well with (in my opinion) the best texture. If you don’t want to take the extra step to use the oat flour as well, you can simply use gluten free plain flour, but you may need an extra ½ tbsp or so of milk. If you do not require this recipe to be gluten free, use the full ¼ cup of regular plain flour and you shouldn’t experience any texture issues.
If you want to include some extras, a tbsp of chopped nuts or a tsp or two of chocolate chips (as shown) would also work well. To sweeten it up a little, add some syrup before serving but don’t add any extra sweetener to the mix.
