This is soooooo yummy!!!! My daughter loves it. thanks so much
I made this yesterday to take to a lunch, and it was a disaster. It didn’t cook in the middle and was all mushy. The top looked good. Was very disappointed as it sounded really lovely. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong.
Sharon, Thanks for your feedback. I have improved the recipe. Would love for you to try again. Please let me know what you think. Also, which Gluten free flour did you use?
I absolutely love this recipe! Definitely going to be a staple in my fridge from now on. Thanks for sharing ???? I have a nut allergy and avoid gluten, so this recipe is perfect for a high protein and veggie snack!
