      I can't eat rice at all, so what do you think might substitute for it? I can eat most gluten free flours, i.e.sorghum, millet, tapioca, buckwheat, etc. Thank you!

        Hi Alene! Great question. I actually think in this recipe you could replace the rice flour with an additional 1/2 cup of oats! I do think tapioca starch would work well too, but I would use a little less so it doesn't get too gummy.
