In reply to Shanae Hobbelen. Hi Shanae - I'm so sorry to hear that! Without seeing your steps, it's hard to say. I will test this one again soon and see if something needs adjusting on my end!

In reply to Jessica. I tried this exactly as recipe. Maybe i added too much water? but did not hold together! Don't know what I did wrong??

I also had trouble with these holding together during frying. I followed the recipe exactly and even weighed my cabbage. But I ended up having to add one extra egg at the end and while it helped a little I think I would need to start out with more batter or less veggies to begin with. Any luck figuring out a different ratio, anyone? Regardless they are very tasty!

In reply to LBL. Hi LBL! I'm sorry you had trouble keeping these together. Coconut flour is very dry and absorbs moisture, so I'm not sure if that would help with the batter. I'll experiment a bit and see what helps. I'm glad you enjoyed the flavor!

I tried this with just almond flour and they did not hold together at all (even after 6 minutes on the griddle). I should have known: what I had wasn't really a batter, more like moistened cabbage. Adding two more eggs helped a little but I really think the coconut flour is what provides the best binding. I used pre-shredded cabbage that I chopped to make an even finer shred. The flavor was good though. 🙂

Oh these were so good!!! My fresh cabbage was pretty wet so I made my batter thick and it held together beautifully. I was bringing these to a potluck so I made mine small (5"). Served with GF Bulldog Sauce (Asian aisle in grocery store) and bonito fish flakes, Kewpie mayo, bacon & green onions. It was a huge hit!!!

In reply to Elizabeth. Hi Elizabeth! I'm sorry to hear about your son's egg allergy, that must be tough. A typical egg substitute is what is called a flax egg, which is 1 Tbsp of flax meal mixed with 2.5 Tbsp of water. You would pre mix these together to make the "egg" and then use it as you normally would. As a disclaimer, I have not tried using a flax egg in this recipe, so I don't know how it will hold up, or if it will hold them together, but it is certainly worth a shot!

Is there a way to make these egg free? We just found out my littlest has a severe egg allergy so looking for new breakfast ideas and this looks like one my man would enjoy!
