  Chef's tip

  Follow the package's conversion to powdered sugar. In frosting or glaze, add liquid gradually - replacements can absorb it differently.
• 

  3 tbsp aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas)

• 

  1 tsp vanilla extract

• 

  ½ tsp almond extract
  Ingredient note

  Only a small amount of almond extract is used here, as a flavoring. That adds virtually no sugar and is likely fine on a candida diet. If you prefer to always avoid flavoring extracts, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

  Chef's tip

  Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.

  Chef's tip

  Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
