THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

🔅 All ovens bake a bit differently, so keep an eye on your bake and adjust the time/temperature if needed.
🔅 Everyone’s taste is unique — feel free to tweak sweetener, salt, or spices to make it just right for you.
🔅 Different ingredient brands can absorb moisture differently, so your texture may vary slightly.
🔅 The base recipes yield smaller batches, as the high fibre content makes these bakes naturally more filling. A smaller portion is often enough to feel satisfied — balance is key for the best experience.
🔅 High-fibre flours behave differently from traditional or other gluten-free flours. They absorb much more liquid and usually require a longer baking time. Don’t worry if the dough or batter feels wet — that’s completely normal. It’s also important to let your bake cool for 2–3 hours after coming out of the oven, as high-fibre flours continue to absorb moisture while cooling. Cutting or serving too early can make the inside feel wet.

  6. Optional: Sprinkle the tops with the hazelnut–sweetener mix.
