These patties are low fat because they are baked instead of pan fried and the only fat comes from the nuts. You can also replace the pine nuts with other nuts since they can be a little spendy. Always buy raw nuts in bulk, you will save money and ensure that they are not old and rancid. Store them in clear glass jars. Also, avoid roasted nuts because of all the salt and preservatives that have been added so that they can sit on shelves for months!
