Mine do have more flour than most recipes call for (which is normally a few tablespoons). I did this from trial and error.. just trying to get a texture I liked most. These are fluffy and similar to hush puppies in texture maybe. The flour could definitely be reduced, this is just my personal preference. These were the first batch.. coconut oil is light colored but as you fry more and more, they get a bit darker. So maybe they are some sort of a mutant, hybrid falafel 👀 I cant do anything normal hahha.
