1 1⁄2 Tbsp tapioca starch
1 tsp baking soda

In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond milk, eggs, agave, and vanilla.
In a separate large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, rice flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the almond milk mixture into the well and stir until just combined.
