    Grab n Go Snack – Grab n Go Breakfast – Grab n Go Lunch.

    This one is for my low carb friends…and you can make it even more low carb by using almond flour!

    Even though these “have green things in them” (direct quote from an unnamed child of mine), they were enjoyed by all!

    I had to promise within an inch of my life that said child wouldn’t actually taste the green things, and I was right. And he really did enjoy them…because he ate 4.

    (Feeding little people is not for the birds, amiright?!)

    So…here’s how this one goes down…

    Add everything to a bowl.

    Mixy, mixy.

    Greased baking dish.

    And bake to golden perfection.

    Try not to eat them all at once.

      You said almond flour but it’s not listed in recipe. Do you substitute almond flour for bread crumbs?
      Thanks! Karen

        Yes, Karen! Erin added that change to the recipe. It is a 1:1 substitution!
        Enjoy!

      I would like more detail on the patting dry the zuchinni. How dry? I’ve run into problems in the past as I don’t have much experience with this.
