Hi Ciska

Thank you for your comment.

Yes, banting allows for up to 100-200g of carbohydrates per day. It is not a no-carb diet but rather a low-carb diet.

You will not be able to function without any carbohydrates, you just need to limit the intake of the carbs.

Hi Johannah

Currently we do not provide a menu as each person will have different needs in terms of what to eat and how much to eat of the specific food.

A good rule of thumb is to only have 2 banting meals a day, breakfast/lunch & dinner and the calories of each meal not exceeding 2000kcal (8400 kj) for a woman and 2500kcal (10500 kj) for a man.

Hi Melanie

A packet of Zucchini weighs 400g.

Hi Anien

Thank you for your feedback.

You can try and add more feta cheese and cottage cheese to get the thickness you want.

Hi Annette

Thank you for your query.

The feta cheese the recipe is referring to will be the standard packaged feta you buy in-store (as it is taken out of the tub).

Personally, I only use Simonsberg Feta (with blackpepper) and one serving (+-50g) or ring of feta is usually just enough for this recipe.

Hi Barbara

You add the cheese before you put it in the oven.

Hi Trish

Thank you for your comment. Usually the psyllium husk adds fiber to the dish as well as act as a sort of glue to keep everything together.

I am not sure what you can use, perhaps replace the psyllium husk with more flax seeds (that have been grinded) or leave out completely.

I think the eggs will keep the bread together, but I have not tried it like that so I will not be able to say it will work 100%.

Good day Margaret

Thank you so much for your feedback. Yes, unfortunately with the different types of coconut flour + coconut oils you get out there the recipe will not work if you have certain brands of the product.

For this reason, I have decided to amend the recipe to take out or reduce these ingredients to make sure that the flapjacks work for everyone. Please see below:

Ingredients (makes 8-10 medium):
1/4 cup of coconut flour
1/4 cup of almond flour
1 tsp of baking powder
1/4 tsp of sea salt
1/4 cup of olive oil
1.5 tsp of xylitol
3 eggs
1/2 cup of coconut milk
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 T of olive oil for cooking

Method (makes 8-10 medium):
1. Heat a frying pan to medium to high heat and olive oil.
2. Mix all of the dry ingredients together (coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder, salt and xylitol).
3. Mix all of the wet ingredients together (olive oil, eggs, coconut milk and vanilla extract).
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a smooth mixture.
5. Pour spoons full of the mixture in the pan and cook until there are bubbles that start to form on the flapjack, flip over and cook the other side.

I hope this helps!

Good day Mike

It really depends on the brand of coconut flour and coconut oil being used in the recipe. Sometimes they are more dry than other brands.

I would suggest that you either use more milk (to get a smooth consistency) or substitute the coconut oil for olive oil.
