FAQs

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

This recipe relies on cottage cheese for creaminess and protein, but you can try replacing it with a plant-based yogurt or silken tofu to keep it dairy-free, though the texture and flavor will vary.

Is coconut flour interchangeable with other flours?

Coconut flour absorbs more liquid than most flours, so direct substitutions aren’t recommended. If using another flour, adjust the amount and liquids accordingly for the best results.
