18 grams egg equal to 1 small eggs ? because large egg equal to 50 grams
No, this is just 18 grams of raw egg. Since this is a ketogenic recipe at a high ratio, the ingredients are weighed in grams.
Can this be done without sweetner?
I’m sure it could! The cream cheese will provide some sweetness, but I have no idea if they will still taste ok. Please let me know!
