I’m so sorry but this turned into a mess. The flavor is great and I want it to be a success but the dumplings fell completely apart and my instant pot is just giving me a HOT warning so I had to stir it. Thanks for posting but didn’t work out for me 😕 Will gladly take advice on it if I may have done something wrong.

Hi Kristie,
I’m so sorry. It seems I accidentally left out the xanthan gum from the recipe. I’ve added it now, but I definitely appreciate you taking the time from your busy day to comment on the recipe. Have a wonderful week!

Besides the almond flour, the ingredient list calls for coconut flour too.
The directions do not include the coconut flour.
The directions include baking SODA, but it’s not on the list of ingredients.

The baking soda was an error and has been removed, thanks for letting me know! I’ve updated the directions to reflect the correct recipe. Thanks again for stopping by and catching this!
