For the Earth Balance, is that fluid ounces or weight ounces? (I am going to use coconut oil instead.) Thanks, I can’t wait to try this!
Hello Janis,
We’re excited for you to try this recipe! To answer your question; it’s weight ounces.
Please email us and let us know how they come out with coconut oil!!
Kindest regards,
