  1. Hi Maria,
    These look amazing!!
    I look forward to making some time soon to indulge. ๐Ÿ™‚
    Any suggestions for a wheat flour alternative (it doesn’t need to be gluten-free, just wheat-free)?

    Thank you so much for sharing your amazing cooking. You are a real gift!

    1. Hi Lucinda ๐Ÿ™‚ So glad you liked these chocolate cups ! To substitute wheat flour in cookies, always choose low protein and high starch flours. Some of them are sorghum, potato starch and coconut flour. You can even a mix by blending these to get your desired result.

    2. I remember we discussed some flour options, rice and tapioca I think. I wonder if you have tried them already ?!
