Many who follow keto or gluten-free diets can find it hard to also incorporate more fibre into their bakes, without making them too dense and heavy.
Psyllium is a great way to incorporate fibre without gluten or carbs. When summer comes around, zucchini is everywhere and is a great way to add moisture.
The combo of the two added to blueberries makes a great breakfast or snack on the go.
