Hey Girls!
I made these on the weekend- fantastic!!! So yummy have got them at work and just heat one up for a snack!! Had to pack them up quickly though before the bf ate them all!!!
Hi Hayley! Aren’t they just delicious?! Glad that you enjoyed them…you will have to start hiding them! e & c
Hey i am so in love with your recipes they are all soo yum!! can these be frozen? and how long can they be kept in the fridge for?
thank you 🙂
Hi Caitlin! Thanks for the feedback – we love them too! We haven’t frozen them before but we are sure that would be fine 🙂 they should last in an airtight container for around 5 days. Enjoy! e & c
Hi guys! What do you think would be any appropriate substitutes for coconut flour?? I just moved states and haven’t found any down here yet! But I really want to make these 🙁 Thanks 🙂
Hi Ana! Try using almond meal/flour instead 🙂 You might need a little more, as coconut flour dries out the mix a little! e & c

Hi Girls – Do i fry the bacon before adding it to the mix? Thanks!!!
Author
Hi Laura! If you like your bacon a little more crispy then definitely fry it first! <3
Oh My God! These are amazzzzing!! I added capsicum and baby spinach and only used one zucchini and a carrot as well and they are the best little savoury snacks ever!
Author
Ohhhh like the sounds of this combo! YUM!
These look amazing as do many of your foods. Do you have any ideas for making these work without eggs? So many of your look great except I cannot eat eggs, and I am wondering if you have alternates.
Thanks
Kristin

Hi Kristin… we have not tried this before with this recipe but you could replace with chia ‘egg’ which is 1 TBS chia seeds and 3 TBS water (equals 1 egg)
Just made these as a morning tea snack to spruce up my morning ! all i can say is i hope they make it to monday !!! 🙂 😉
Author
Hehe! Yes… they are SOOO good! 🙂 Glad you loved them!
Super delicious ladies. Thanks so much for this easy recipe.

Yaaay! Makes us SO happy!
For those of us in the United States, that would be a 400 degree oven? The conversion table said 392 degrees, but that’s not happening. And a rasher would be a slice of bacon? These look so tasty, don’t want to burn them nor undercook them.
Thanks – Merry Christmas!

Hehe oh it’s so tricky with the conversions! We’d suggest going just below 400°F can you do 390°F? And yes a rasher is like a slice of bacon. Let us know how you go! These are one of our fav snacks! Merry Christmas Sharon! xox
These are great! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
I see dill in the balls, but not in the ingredients list. Dill is always a good kick for zucchini.
Author
Dill always wins 🙂 YES! Add it!
Not exactly paleo, but I whacked in some cheese and a homemade ranch dressing on the side with extra dill goodness. Super delish!

Sounds delish Mel!
