Join the discussionHey there! I just tried this recipe and I LOVE the flavor. But for the life of me I can’t figure out how to keep the patties formed. They all fell apart either in the pan, or while I was dipping them in the flour. It was just a big mess! I had to eat them right away because I couldn’t really freeze them like that. Seems like the recipe is missing something… like eggs? Are there any tips on how to keep the patties from falling apart in the pan? Help!!
Completely agree. Just tried to make and ran into the exact same issue. They crumble rather than staying together as patties. I wondered if they needed to be food processed first, but then not sure the texture would be appetizing. Perhaps to your point, throwing in an egg or two (plus perhaps a little coconut flour??) as part of the mix might help?
That is exactly what I did- added in one egg and sprinkled some coconut flour. They are still delicate- but did stay together!
