I used silicon cupcake cups. Flowered directions to a T. Still cooking after 45 mins. Is it the silicon cup
That’s interesting, it should not take that long in cupcake cups. Have you checked your oven temp?
These look great, plan on making them tomorrow. For anyone who doesn’t have oatflour on hand, just throw a cup or 2 in your blender and it will make the flour for you. Super easy. I love the mild flavor and health benefits of the oatflour, always love trying new recipes with it!
Great reminder!! Enjoy!
