These were very tasty! I had a hard time with sticking– even in my non-stick pan. Maybe I blended them too long. So I added some water to make them a little thinner (I like them that way) and poured them onto parchment and baked them. I had to poke them with a fork after flipping them to release some moisture but they ended up really great. Such a creative recipe!
