INGREDIENT NOTES & KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:

ALMOND FLOUR:

• Almond flour can be used because it will give these tornadoes a smooth, cohesive texture. Either ground flaxseed meal or a tiny bit of coconut flour can be used in its place.

CHICKEN:

• The recipe’s base is made using chicken. It will increase the dish’s protein and healthy fat content. To give a different flavor, you can also use the thighs of chicken, beef, and turkey.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

• The cheddar cheese will give the filling a powerful taste and more creaminess. Use the mozzarella, Colby, or pepper jack instead to add more spice.

MAYONNAISE:

• Utilize the mayonnaise to deliver the dish a silky and decadent texture. Alternatively, you can use egg mayonnaise or avocado oil mayo.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• To preserve the tornadoes’ texture, you might use mozzarella cheese. It also provides a fluid texture and a subtle flavor. Additionally, you can use Parmesan, cheddar, or Monterey Jack cheese.

BUTTER:

• It will soften the tornadoes and add moisture and rich flavor. Additionally, it will improve the cake’s flavor and texture. If necessary, substitute the avocado oil, ghee, or coconut oil.
