YUM! That molten inside looks TOO good. Xx
Thank you!
What are the net carb in the lava cookies. They look delicious.
Hi Deb,
This was one of our early recipes and we put it up before we started adding nutritional information. Harper didn’t add how many cookies it makes (as I said, it was one of our first), but I think it makes about 12. I plan to make the recipe sometime soon to be sure. In any case, if you eat 1/12 of the number of cookies it makes, this should be the nutritional information. I added this nutritional information to the recipe:
Servings: 12

Could you use coconut flour or oat flour? Can you also use coconut sugar as a substitute? Thank you!
Kerri,
Coconut sugar would be fine to substitute, although you will want to increase the amount as the sweetener I use is twice as sweet as sugar. Coconut flour would be a challenge to substitute as it acts differently from almond flour and would take some experimentation to get right. I suspect that oat flour may work, but I’ve never tried it.Hope this helps!
