Any suggestions what to swap almond meal with? My son is allergic.
Have you tried baking with any of the other gluten-free flours available now? Perhaps a baking mix would work for you (usually made from tapioca flour, rice flour and potato flour), or even coconut flour if coconut is OK for your son.
Great thanks heaps, ill give it a go.
