FAQs

Can I use oat flour instead of almond flour?
No, oat flour is not keto-friendly and will change the texture and taste of the breadsticks. Stick to almond flour for the best results.

How can I keep the breadsticks from sticking to the baking sheet?
Using parchment paper, as suggested, will help prevent sticking. If you still have issues, lightly grease the paper with cooking spray or extra melted butter.

Can these breadsticks be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze the breadsticks after baking. Place them in an airtight container and pop them in the freezer. When ready to eat, thaw and reheat in the oven to restore their crispness.
