I used this recipe over the weekend. I don’t use coconut anything, so after a little research, I substituted unsweetened almond milk and added a tablespoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients (to make up for the thinness of the almond milk). The shortbread was easy to make and had a really good flavor, but was a little tough (probably due to the substitutions). I made the fat-free version of aquafaba whipped cream for topping (found at thehiddenveggies.com), and used maple syrup on the strawberries.
I had been craving strawberry shortcake for quite awhile (but hadn’t pursued due to my dietary restrictions). This combination was oh so satisfying – and diet compliant! Thank you for creating the “healthier” recipe that got me started on the journey…

In reply to Ariella. Hi! You can taste it, but I don't find it overpowering.

My family loves this strawberry shortcake recipe. I love your original one but I also made some changed for my family members that are not favorable on wheat flower. So I did use 1 cup buckwheat and 1 wheat cup flower 1/4 coconut flower and an other 1/4 cup I mixed phyllium husk, Maca, and lacuma powder. It is ended up very digestible and tasted great.

Do the biscuits taste like coconut? I dislike the taste, but have a can that someone left here that I would like to use up.

In reply to Maria. Unfortunately, coconut flour isn't a 1:1 substitute. Coconut flour tends to soak up all the moisture.

Hey! I love shortcake and I’m going to try this soon… Just wondering if you think I could use a granulated sweetener such as stevia instead of honey? Or half honey half stevia? Does the dough need the stickiness of the honey or was it just your preferred sweetener?
Thanks
