💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil is healthier but canola oil is often less expensive.

egg

🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal

💰Cheaper: silken tofu

Flaxseed meal can replace egg for binding in a healthier way, while silken tofu is a budget-friendly substitute.

lime juice

🥗Healthier: lemon juice

💰Cheaper: vinegar

Cut half of the avocado and crush it in a bowl until smooth.

Add 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper and 1/8 teaspoon of salt to the avocado and mix.

Gradually add 3/4 cup of farine, a quarter cup at a time, mixing until it can form into a ball.

Switch to a spatula and fold the mixture until it comes together.

Roll the mixture into balls, about a tablespoon in size.

Coat the balls in additional farine for a nice outer layer.
