Hi Jill, love your channel! I love all your recipes but I’m concerned with the amount of dates you use. They are full of natural sugar. Does that defeat the purpose of going plant-based while keeping our weight down?

i thought that too…. this is a high glycemic product-even though it is ‘sugar’ free

Just made this and found it very dense and a pudding like consistency. It has a great flavor but expected the coffee cake to be lighter in texture. I used all medjool dates and wonder if I should have used another type date.

I baked this cake today and the flavour is quite nice. But the consistency, like Janet above me says, is rather pudding like. Could it be because of the starch (arrow root/tapioca)? Do you have any tips as to how to get a dryer, more traditionally cake like consistency?

And thank you for the recipe! I just discovered you yesterday via youtube. I’m so happy to have found a oil and refined sugar free recipe blog.

Yes, it’s not a crumbly type of cake, but maybe baking it 5-10 minutes more. You could try a bit let of the tapioca flour if you don’t like the consistency. It might help =)

The same here. It looks to me like it is not done. And I had it in there for 1 1/2 hours. The same with the banana bread. What is wrong??

Hi Jill
We are very excited to be embarking upon this journey, and your recipes look amazing- excited to try some of them.
However, i am oat intolerant and wondered what you might suggest to use in place of either the oats or oat flour in your recipes

Thank you

I haven’t tried many substituting for the oat flour but you could try rice flour or ground quinoa

Made it today. Ran out of oats so I used buckwheat flour and buckwheat groats instead of rolled oats for the topping. I also put in two mashed bananas 🙂 to fluff up the texture of the cake. It’s amazingly delicious. Thanks so much for sharing these healthy and yummy receipts.

This didn’t work. It was dry and burnt on top and like gelatin on the inside. What a waste of money on some pretty spendy ingredients. All I’m left with is no dates, an empty palette and a pan I need to figure out if I can save.

Hi Jill, just to check, there is no coffee ingredient in this cake right? Didn’t see any.

Reply
