FAQs
Can I use regular sugar instead of sweetener?
Yes, but this will increase the carb content, making it less suitable for keto diets.
Is almond flour the same as almond meal?
Almond flour is typically finer and lighter than almond meal, which is coarser. For the best texture, use finely ground almond flour in this recipe.
