That looks great except for the 2 TB white flour in the filling. What would be a good sub for those of us who don't want the gluten?

Why not use coconut flour? The stuff absorbs a lot of liquid though, so it might need to be adjusted.

Rice or tapioca flour might work, too, and does not absorb as much liquid as coconut flour.

A slice of heaven!!
