INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

COTTAGE CHEESE:

• You have to utilize cottage cheese, as it is the main ingredient in this recipe. It delivers a soft texture and moisture content. It serves as a basis for creating these bites. It also gives a protein content and makes these bites mildly tarty and flavorful. Instead, we can use cream cheese, mascarpone, or ricotta cheese.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• We have to utilize finely ground almond flour, which will give a tender texture and nutty flavor. It also provides fewer carbs and a structure to form the dough for these bites. You can switch it out with sunflower seed flour or flaxseed meal.

GARLIC:

• You might use the garlic to deliver an aromatic taste and savory flavor. It is utilized to improve each flavor and give a strong taste to these bites. As a replacement, we can use onion powder, roasted garlic, or garlic powder.
