What is an alternative to chocolate stevia
Emily - Dietitian (MS, RD)
You can skip the chocolate stevia and just use any safe sweetener alternative.

Could I substitute almond flour for the coconut flour?
Jedha: Nutritionist (MNutr)
Yep, I think it would work just as well.
Lynda
My grandson recently dx as diabetic…would like to make cupcakes….how would I bake this recipe and make a larger batch for his birthday? Also where to find chocolate stevie flavoring?
Jedha
We are working on a cake recipe book for this exact reason – birthdays and celebrations. In the meantime you could try this carrot cake/loaf as a base. You could add cocoa and chocolate stevia to this for a choc cake of sorts. The carrot cake itself is also delicious. You can only get choc stevia from Amazon, other online stores and maybe some health food stores.

Pam
Can I buy small amounts of coconut flour at a health food store? prefer not to purchase a large amount if i can avoid it. Thanks
Jedha
Some health food stores yes, or you can purchase it at most supermarkets also. It will keep for months in the fridge.

You advise not to use artificial sweeteners. Why does this recipe contain Stevia ? I’m concerned that I don’t want to purchase the menu plans I was going to because they may include other ingredients you Advise not to use. I really like the way you teach and your advice lines up with what I know to work well for me. I have Gestational. Thank you.

Stevia is not considered an artificial sweetener per se. You can read more about artificial sweeteners here and stevia here. Two very different substances with very different research behind them. Our recipes don’t contain ingredients we don’t recommend and stevia is the only sweetener we use in our recipes. When we make product recommendations, we aim to look for the best options with the cleanest possible ingredients. Sometimes these aren’t always 100% ideal but not everyone wants to make everything from scratch, which is why we sometimes provide options and alternatives.

Lol, I cheat so often with chocolate cakes that i’m surprised i’m still alive. it’s true after dinner i’ll sneak in a large serving of cake and end up asleep in no time while watching the news. I feel like i’m in a diabetic coma. Anyway, perhaps I should try this. not sure why all my words are are starting in caps…
Thanks for the recipe! you’d think they’d sell this cake at Publix supermarket
