Erythritol is harmful to the heart and digestive system. I use Stevia powder (1 tsp to 1 cup sugar). Too bad Just Like Sugar (chicory root inulin) is no longer available.

And I cannot tolerate monk fruit. What to substitute?

You can have carrots on keto.

You can also use plantain flour (aka green banana flour), Tiger nut flour or sunflower seed flour instead of coconut flour. I too find coconut flour too dry.

In reply to Carol Ann.

I’d use sunflower seed flour instead of almond. Tiger nut flour would also be great, despite its name Tiger nut is a tuber, not a nut 🙂
Plantain flour (aka green banana flour) would also be great!
All coconut will make it very dry.
Sunflower seed is a good replacement if someone is allergic to nuts, as are Tiger nut and plantain flours. I use them in muffins and cakes if it’s for school, as my daughter’s school is nut-free and we are grain-free and gluten-free.
This way it’s good for everyone 🙂
This recipe sounds AMAZING Dr Jockers!! I’ll be using vegan cream cheese as I can’t tolerate dairy apart from butter. I’ll be using raw butter. Yum!! Can’t wait to make this tomorrow!!

That’s what I do with my cakes. Instead of all keto, I use keto sweeteners with traditional sweeteners (honey, organic sugar, molasses, fruits). To me, it gives better flavor. And not so sugary if all sugary sweeteners. Same with flours.

More eggs will make it need more sweetener. Just add 1/4 cup each of water and coconut oil to rehydrate the super dry coconut flour.

Coconut flour especially dehydrated – so simply needs extra moisture. We get good results adding water and coconut oil – about 1/4 cup each per cup of the flour.
