    1. Hi Joy,

      Honestly, I haven't tried it yet with fresh or frozen but I think either should work fine. Please keep us posted. 🙂

  1. recipe didn't work at all, I believe because there are no binding agents, aka eggs, the cookies melded into one large bar in the pan. that would be fine but after baking for 20 minutes, it was still wet and inedible

    1. Did you by any chance use Bob's Red Mill Almond Flour which is actually Almond Meal? Almond meal doesn't work for this recipe. We've made this lots of times and they turn out great! Thanks.

      1. Is there a way to use Bob's Almond Flour/Meal (that is what my package says)? The same thing happened to me. Would it help to let it sit a bit and soak up the liquid? It tasted really good. Or, would it taste that different using wheat flour? Use same amounts of everything if I did?

        Can I make my own almond flour with a Vitamix that would work? Thank you!

      2. Just learned something: the almond meal has the brown skin in it, the almond flour doesn't, so is finer. If I can't find the flour, I'll buy the skinned almonds and make my own flour.

  2. I just tried a fine almond flour from Costco, and they still melted all over the pan. I made sure to measure everything correctly and removed the water from the blueberries.

    Could the round pizza pan with parchment paper I cook them on have anything to do with it?

    Any suggestions? They taste so good, I'd really like to be able to make them into cookies. Thank you!

    1. Thanks for the feedback, Sue. We are in the process of updating this recipe. Check back next week for the newer version!

          1. You said you were in the process of updating the recipe. I can't seem to make it into cookies. It melts and covers the whole pan even though I use flour I bought that is blanched almonds made into fine flour.

          2. We're sorry to hear that our recipe isn't working out for you. Please email us directly at gale@skinnyms.com so that we can figure out where the problem is. Thank you!

  3. I am having the same problem. I can tell these taste so delicious, but they melt all over the pan. I do have almond flour, not meal. the second time, I did not melt the coconut oil. They were better, but mushy in the middle. Any suggestions? BTW. I used fresh blueberries in half and dried in the other half, either will work fine. But I’m really looking for a cookie consistency. Thanks!!

    1. Jill, I’m going to remake the recipe early next week and see what tweaks are needed. Check back around the middle of the week for any
      update. 🙂

  4. Do you think that making these with brown rice flour or a gluten free all purpose would work in place of the almond flour? my son is allergic to nuts but I am always looking for new grab and go snacks. This would satisfy my gluten allergy and his nut allergy. Thanks!

    1. Kristin, Hmmmm…I can’t say for sure but either should work. What about Bob’s Red Mill all-purpose which is gluten-free?

      1. I ended up making these with the GF AP flour. I subbed the Hemp for ground flax also. My dough looked a little loose so I added some GF rolled oats and maybe a few white choc chips =) and they came out amazing! kids love them. They were a little sweet for me, Maybe because I used organic creamed honey instead of the syrup kind or maybe it was the re-hydrated berries. I will definitely make them again and maybe play with the sugar a little.

        1. We’re so happy that you enjoyed them. Please keep us posted on any successful substitutions you make. 🙂

  5. is there a substitute I can use for the flax seed, which I am allergic to? Also would that change the nutritional informaton?

    1. Great question, Noelle!

      You can substitute coconut flour for almond flour, but only use 1/4 cup of coconut flour. Coconut flour soaks up a lot of moisture, so it needs to be reduced in the recipe when substituting. If your batter looks too wet you can always add a little more.
