    *My favorite gluten-free & dairy-free flour blends to use are Better Batter and Pamela’s Artisan Blend. I’ve been using them both with great results.

      Do I need to use almond milk. Would regular milk work?

      Delicious, my family loved it! I used half as much sugar as called for and added cinnamon to the apples and vanilla extract to the batter and it was perfect. Thanks!

      Could you sub coconut sugar for sugar? Or do you have another sugar substitute suggestion?

      I have Bob’s Red Mill flour without xan gum. Do I need to add the xan gum to the flour for this recipe?
