Recipe Notes
*If you prefer, you can use your favorite gluten-free baking mix to replace the oat flour, almond flour and tapioca flour. Please keep in mind, the texture may vary with this substitution.
**Each can of coconut cream is different. If your cans do not form two distinct layers, one made of cream and the other of water, add arrowroot powder or tapioca powder 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
