The Maca substitution rule is : Generally, allow ½ tsp Maca per cookie - since people are likely to eat more than one cookie, and the serving suggestion is one tsp Maca per day. For every teaspoon Maca added, subtract equal amount of flour from recipe. This works beautifully in banana cake and pumpkin spice cakes too. Substitute 1 tsp Maca for 1 tsp flour PER SLICE. In other words, if your loaf pan makes 10 slices, you would subtract 10 tsp flour from the recipe, and add 10 tsp Maca
