Notes
Use gluten free 1:1 flour to make it gluten free. Here's my favorite (affiliate link) https://amzn.to/31xDnqO
Use coconut sugar 1:1 to swap with the brown sugar in this recipe. Reduce sugar by 3/4 cup if desired.
Use refined coconut oil in the place of vegetable oil if you'd like no coconut flavor. Here's my favorite (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/31JKywp
