We are really enjoying this sweet treat. Looking at the recipe, I cut the sweetener to 1 cup at my first try. It is still a bit sweet for my tastes but the family loves it! I will cut the sweetener a bit more the next time I make it. Delicious and really met the desire for a treat! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!
Thank Dr Colbert.
Yummy
What is the best oil to oil the pan?
This was a very easy recipe to make. I did not use as much of the erithrytol that was called for, but used 1 cup. Very good – Thanks!
Thanks for this recipe. I used only about a third cup of Swerve and that was enough for me. It wasn’t necessary to drain the zucchini. I think it just makes it more moist to keep all the juices. Also, I left out the ginger, doubled the cinnamon, used almond meal instead of almond flour (that was all I had) and I thought it was great.
Hi, this looks delicious. Curious though about the erithrytol, I thought the only “approved” sweetener was stevia? Please advise. Thanks.
Hi Pam,
Erythritol has become much popular among people on low carb and ketogenic diets. Though it is actually a form of carbohydrate and approximately 60 to 80 percent as sweet as sugar, erythritol has about 0.2-to-no calories per gram (2).
I hope this helps!
