In reply to Michelle Nettles. Yes, I would do equal.

In reply to MaryEllen. So do you replace it with equal measurements (for example if recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of corn starch you use 1 teaspoon of rice flour or tapioca flour instead)? THANKS for the info!! :)

In reply to Kim A.. I know it's fine in muffins, but I can't remember if I've done it in cookies. I'm afraid they may turn out flat, but it may be okay if you only sub part of the amount and reduce some of the liquid.

Michelle,
I have never used arrowroot just because I never had any on hand. I don’t like to use corn starch, however (to avoid GMO’s) and I have used rice flour or tapioca flour just fine in place of the corn starch.

Thank you! This was very timely. I wonder about the butter subs in recipes for muffins, cookies etc. Will coconut oil or applesauce work in those kinds of recipes? Like say sugar cookies? Thanks for the help.

For recipes that call for “candied” fruits, substitute the amount of any other organically dried fruits (raisins, pineapple, dates, figs, prunes, papaya, apples, cherries, craisins, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.) Make a banana bread, applesauce bread, or chopped apple cake base, then add a mixture of the above fruits. You’ll have a “fruitcake” that people will LOVE!
