About Nicole Hunn

Hi, I’m Nicole. I create gluten free recipes that really work and taste as good as you remember. No more making separate meals when someone is GF, or buying packaged foods that aren’t good enough to justify the price. At Gluten Free on a Shoestring, “good, for gluten free” just isn’t good enough!

    I wonder if coconut sugar would work? I find it often lends a similar caramelly taste to what brown sugar gives a recipe. I’ll let you know if I try it!

    1. Nicole Hunn says:

      Coconut sugar is extremely coarse, and doesn’t dissolve very well in baking, unlike conventional brown sugar, Rose. If you try it, I recommend that you grind it first in a blender or food processor.

    I will try these. Altering the recipe.
    Have a problem when there is so much white or brown sugar in a recipe. I also eat GF, but I don’t use white or brown sugar.
    Like the idea of the miso. And wasabi.

      I don’t recommend reducing the sugar, Ann, or replacing it with anything other than an alternative granulated and alternative light brown sugar. Sugar isn’t just a sweetener, but also a tenderizer and the brown sugar adds flavor.
