Almond and oat flours produce a super fluffy texture while the pumpkin adds moisture and added nutrients!

Can you substitute the almond flour for any other flour (including all oat)? Making this for my sister who has a nut allergy.
Hi Sarah! Is it specifically an almond allergy? Can she have other nuts? Unfortunately the only flour I know would work perfectly as a 1:1 sub is cashew flour (store bought or homemade). Because almond flour is so light and fluffy, it adds a specific texture to the recipe so i’m not sure any other flours (as they’re usually more absorbent) would work.. Sunflower seed flour is also a gret nut-free option (simply blend sunflower seeds in a blender until it resembles almond flour). You can try using more oat flour it just may be a tad more dense!
Yes unfortunately she is allergic to all nuts. We will try sunflower seed flour, thank you!
