This is the tastiest way to serve spinach that we have found yet! Even those who are not spinach fans will gobble these right up, we promise. These would also make great “burgers” or wrap fillings for lower ratios, just shape them into a patty instead.

*This recipe was updated to reflect a 4:1 ratio recipe since this it is the most requested ratio. For lower ratios, simply add more spinach and cheese or follow the measurements provided in the video for a 3.5:1 ratio.

4:1 ratio recipes are provided in grams ONLY. Due to the accuracy needed to achieve 4:1 ratio recipes, it is not advisable to use customary units of measure (cups, tablespoons, etc.). Learn more about the 5 variations of ketogenic diet therapies.

Notes:

A small amount of oil cooked out of the bites, but almost all of it reabsorbed while they cooled. If you are concerned about this, bake them in silicone cup cake liners or cookie molds. The xanthan gum used in the video helps prevent oil form cooking out but does not have to be used.
