What do YOU use in place of flour and sugar?

    Flour: I use a combination of Whole Grain flour (Natural White and Whole Grain Wheats) and a Paleo flour mix (Coconut, Almond, Quinoa and other ancient grains)
    Sugar: Coconut sugar, Splenda, and/or xylitol

    Note: For whole grain wheat flours I prefer to grind them. see: Grain Mill
