Hello! If I want to use fresh blueberries, how should I modify the Blueberry Muffin Breakfast Cookies recipe?
Hi Lisa! We haven’t tried these with fresh blueberries but other readers have had success swapping them in 1 to 1 with no other changes. Hope this helps!
Lisa says
Thanks so much for the response!
Dawn says
Specifically for this recipe: the vegan trail mix cookies.
Can I substitute maple syrup for the coconut sugar and applesauce for the coconut oil?
Thank you,
Dawn
We haven’t tried it that way, but we think it might work. Let us know if you give it a try!
Lisa says
What would you recommend as a substitute for almond flour? I have a daughter with both egg and tree nut allergies. thank you!
Is she also gluten-free? If so, I’d say more of a GF blend, or a blend of oat flour and potato starch. If she’s not GF, all purpose flour is best!
Lisa says
She isn’t, thank you so much Dana!!

What can I substitute for coconut oil?
Thank you!
Hi Virginia, did you mean to comment on a specific recipe?
LYNNE says
Thanks for all the recipes!!!
xoxo!
Susan says
Hi Dana!
We LOVE your recipes!! Thank you thank you!
Question – is there something that would sub well for the almond flour in the GF recipes, if we don’t need them to be GF? Like spelt flour or white wheat, for example? Would you need to modify?
Thanks!!
Yeah, I’d say either should work but gluten flours are usually more absorbent so start with slightly less and work you way up to avoid dry/crumbly cookies. xo!
Rameen says
Hey Dana,
Which of these would you recommend for weight-watchers? The kind we can savour one or two a day without consuming too much of our daily calorie allowance? And any tips for substitutions to reduce the amount of calories per serving?
Probably the snickerdoodles! You can also sub in some stevia for sugar where you can. Hope that helps!
LaTrice Mays says
Dana Helloooooo!
Can we get a mini cookbook from you with all these in it? PLEASE!!
Hi LaTrice! We don’t have plans to do that but what a great idea! We’ll certainly share if we do!
Joy says
Hi Dana
Thank you for the many gluten free recipes. I am both gluten and lactose intolerant and always have to swap which doesn’t bother me anymore but still.
I have never tried no bake cookies.., which do you recommend that’s easier in taste?
Thank you
Hi Joy! Honestly all of the no-bakes are great – just depends what you’re looking for in texture / flavor?
Ashley Jackson says
So many yummy recipes to choose from, thank you! :) Which ones are your favorite?
I happen to love the sugar cookies (the fluffy ones!), snickerdoodles, and PB cup cookies!
Andrew Sunde says
This is incredible – thank you. Which ones do you recommend trying first?
All of these are my favorites! But I’d start with the snickerdoodles and PB cup cookies!
Keira says
I will just be over here baking and eating all the cookies this month. These look amazing! xo
xoxo!
Faye Langton says
Hello Dana. I love your recipes. I wonder if you could help me with something. You are not alone, but I notice many of your recipes are gluten free. I have read that eating gluten free if you are not intolerant can be dangerous. In fact few people are truly intolerant. Is it that you are intolerant which would explain the recipes? I am not being rude but am truly interested.
Hi Faye! I eat some gluten but only sourdough bread and spelt flour! I digest those best. It is important to have a diverse diet! It’s the framework laid out in the book Fiber Fueled if you’re interested to learn more!
Ewa says
