# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They taste indulgent but keep your carb count low, so you can snack without the guilt.
  • You can make them ahead and reheat them in minutes when company shows up unexpectedly.
  • Theyre small enough for kids to love and flavorful enough that adults keep asking for the recipe.
02 -
  • Dont skip drying the broccoli, extra moisture makes the batter too loose and theyll spread instead of puff.
  • If you substitute coconut flour, use only a quarter cup or theyll turn dense and dry.
03 -
  • Press the batter firmly into the muffin cups so they hold their shape and dont crumble when you pop them out.
  • Taste a tiny bit of the raw mixture before baking to check seasoning, you can still adjust salt or garlic.
