Keto Oatmeal Chayote Bake


This keto chayote bake is so delicious and tasty. We have used chayote squash instead of apples with keto sweetener to make the recipe completely ketogenic. This chayote squash gives us a texture that is similar to apples. It is also gluten-free and grain-free because it is made with almond flour instead of wheat flour. This recipe is not dairy-free but you can make it dairy-free if you use coconut oil as a substitute for the butter. Make a chayote bake for breakfast or we can also serve it as a dessert.
