Why have we not used apples while making the apple fritters?
We have used the combo of zucchini + apple essence in place of actual apples. The rationale is that we must make the keto version of apple fritters. As apples are too high in carbs, they are not listed among the keto fruits. To have the low-carb version of apple fritters, we have swapped the apple with the combo of zucchini + apple essence.
Does coconut flour work in the recipe?
We recommend that you use a quarter cup of coconut flour along with each single cup of almond flour.
