Nicolette’s Tips
* You may
substitute cacao powder with unsweetened cocoa powder.
* You may
substitute granulated stevia with another sweetener of choice, like xylitol or splenda.
* You can make your own gluten free whole grain oat flour by grinding gluten free whole grain oats in a food processor until oats turn into a fine powder.
