        Hi, Clcondon15. You can use other ground nuts instead, or even 2 tablespoons of coconut flour (you may need to add another egg). If you don’t want to use the recipe at all, you can swap it out for something else. To swap recipes in your menu, click on the edit or crossout tool to the immediate right of a recipe you don’t want, then select a replacement from the pop-up list.

      Batter was way too soupy. Had to add more almond flour to shape into patties. Don’t know how much this altered nutrional content of recipe. Both recipes I had tried have been this way. Suggestions. I am accurately measuring everything.

      to make this healthier use coconut flour instead of almond.. almond flour is higher in omega 6 and is a tree nut (allergies) coconut flour requires you use less (1/4 of the amount of almond flou and cost half as much as almond flour.

        Hi, dana2222. If you click on any breakfast item, you will get a pop-up list from which you can select this recipe. You can “heart” it to increase its frequency in your breakfast menus, or you can just repeat your breakfasts as often as you like (even whole days, if you want).
