* Notes:
- I like to use up the woody ends of asparagus
- I just halved fennel seeds with my fingernails or back of knife
- You can also add 1/2 grated cheese if you like
- If the mixture seems too gooey add more coconut flour or Fibergy
- You probably should mix dry ingredients and then whisk in eggs but easy peasy is my motto!!!
- I love Fibergy in all my baking, it’s a great way to increase fibre to my diet, it’s tasteless,GF and works similar to flour but if you don’t have it you could use ground flax seeds
