Is it possible to use gluten free flour instead of almond flour as allergies to nuts .in your other recipes it also says 60g almond flour..can I use gluten free flour for that?

For this recipe you could use oat flour in place of the almond flour. Which other recipe are you referring to? It depends on the recipe whether you can make those substitutions.

Thank you for your feedback - you can convert it to cup measurements by clicking the 'US customary' button at the top of the ingredients list. So sorry if that was unclear!
