❓ FAQ

Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
You can, but it’s much drier—start with less and add more liquid if needed.

Can I skip the protein powder?
Yes! Just replace it with extra almond flour and sweeten to taste.

Does it taste like strong matcha?
Nope—it’s mild and balanced. You can always add more if you want a bolder flavor.

How long do they last?
They keep in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for a month.

Can I use sweetened coconut?
Sure! Just reduce the added syrup a little so it doesn’t get too sweet.
