- In another bowl, whisk eggs, yogurt, butter, sweetener, and vanilla.
- Combine wet + dry ingredients into a thick batter.

Why this is better for diabetes
- Almond + coconut flour = much lower carbs than white flour
- Erythritol/monk fruit won’t spike blood sugar
- Fat + protein slow glucose absorption
Tips
- Keep portions moderate—low-carb doesn’t mean zero impact
- Add chopped nuts for extra fiber and slower digestion
- If you miss the “pull-apart” texture, cut into chunks before baking
