Do you have a conversion if you use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
unfortunately no.
What’s the nutritional info?
The recipe has been updated with the nutritional information. It is always worth checking on your own, with an app like Cronometer, as your ingredients may differ from what we used.
Oh my gosh, 501 calories! that’s way too much dessert for me. Any idea how many regular size muffins this would make? Then I can figure out the calories for the smaller portion.
I want to start eating keto but I have to figure out how to satiate my sugar cravings. Thanks.
This was a submission for a contest from @ketokonduct I will try and reach out to them to see what they suggest for smaller portion sizes.
I used regular muffin tin and it made 12. So delicious. Tastes like a regular cake. I made a second batch but used vanilla keto chow and Lily’s white chocolate chips. Just as delicious!
Sounds delicious!!
