I’d like the last one standing because then I will get to scoop up all the leftover caramel. This looks delicious, Clare. If I don’t have chickpea flour, could I just add more gf blend?

🤣🤣 good idea
The chickpea flour is actually the egg replacement you could try this instead as an alternative Cornstarch 2 Tbs + 4 tsp oil + 1 tsp baking powder + 2 Tbs water
