ingredient tips & substitutions

  • Sprouted Sifted Wheat Flour: you can swap for sprouted light spelt or sifted red fife flour
  • Lemon zest and juice: not a lemon fan? Try with orange or lime instead!
  • Olive oil: we prefer a light olive oil for this recipe. The stronger the olive oil, the more prominent the flavour. You could also swap for another neutral tasting oil (avocado, canola etc.)
  • Eggs: we have not tried this recipe with any egg alternatives. If you try it, please let us know how it goes!
  • Milk: Any kind of milk or dairy-free milk option will work in this recipe.
