Notes
- Squeeze out ALL excess water from shredded carrots.
- Dough will be pretty thick.
- To make a flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water. Place in fridge to set for 15 minutes. Then, add to batter.
- Coconut butter is not the same as coconut oil. When melted, it resembles icing. It can be bought off Amazon.
