We're lacto vegetarian (no meat, fish, eggs--dairy is ok), and a friend who is GF is coming for thanksgiving. I'm going to try this as a base for pumpkin pie bars; the base for the pumpkin pie bars uses almond flour, I have a sensitivity to almonds and I've been searching for a coconut flour recipe since CF can't be substituted 1:1 for AF. I will be thrilled if this works!

I made the dough and made very small cookies and only had 8. 6 tablespoons of coconut flour seems like such a small amount for 16 cookies, and if you only get 8 with 2 TB of honey, each cookie would seem to have a lot of carbs. I'm wondering if I missed something?

Yes! Duck eggs are great but harder to find. I did locate a farmer who sells them. They also bake things much fluffier than chicken eggs.

I, too, developed an egg allergy after an extended period of going egg-crazy on Whole30 and Keto. I developed a lot of food allergies, actually, but the eggs are the big one. So crazy. Of all the research I’ve done trying to figure out wth, this recipe description that you wrote is the only other documentation I have been able to find of this happening to anyone else.

I’ve gotten my hands on some duck eggs, so I’m going to try those out this week. I’ll let you know how I do. Have you tried duck eggs yet?

Coconut flour can be very absorbent. So you could try adding in more oil or almond milk. Adding an egg should help too.

If you look at the photo of the cookies next to the teacup, you can get an idea of the size of my cookies. I made them mini sized.

I got 5 cookies instead of 16?

I made some revisions to the recipe:
1. I replaced the sauce with half a banana. Next time, I'll use either 1 or 1.5 bananas since it wasn't sweet enough for me.
2. I used about 2-3 TBSP of unsweetened flakes

Next time, I might top these with various jams and/or add more coconut flakes for a macaroon taste.

Thanks for the recipe. Loved it and so simple!

Thanks for the tips on how to make without the syrup!
