the texture of mine turned out quite dense. I did not blend it- mixed by hand and shredded the zucchini. My coconut flour was also expired. So perhaps was user error on the texture. That being said, the flavor was perfect 🤩! Will be making again and using the blender and fresh flour.

So glad they still turned out! It’s hard to use up coconut flour before it expires sometimes ha
These did not turn out good tasted more zucchini than chocolate…. I was so sad😩
