Tips & FAQs
Why is my batter watery?
Zucchini contains a lot of moisture, so squeezing it well is important.
Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but use less coconut flour since it absorbs more liquid.
Can I make these vegetarian?
They already are vegetarian unless adding bacon or meat toppings.
Are these good for meal prep?
Absolutely. They store and reheat very well for busy mornings.
Can I add extra protein?
Yes. Add cooked shredded chicken or turkey bacon for a higher-protein version.
