List of Ingredients
1 1/4 cups almond flour -- or other nut flour
1 cup plain protein powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 egg
2 egg whites
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
14 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 1/2 cups splenda granular
4 bars dark chocolate -- sugar free Recipe
Combine almond or hazelnut "flour" with whey protein, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Mix well and set aside. Melt and than cool butter in large bowl, add oil. (You don't want steaming butter). Set aside. Mix egg, egg whites and vanilla in another bowl. Set aside.
Chop up or smash all 4 Carbolite bars. The dark chocolate definately works the best and has the least carbs - 0 after fiber has been deducted. Add Splenda to the butter/oil and stir well. Now add egg mixture and whisk or stir briskly. Add dry mixture and mix well. Lastly, add chocolate chunks and stir together until incorporated. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and drop dough by large spoonfuls.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
NOTES : Makes 32 very large cookies at 1.4 effective carbs each.
Connies Notes: I used ground Pecans (pecan meal) for my ground nuts. Vanilla Whey Designer Protein, Olive oil is all I had, and 2 Carbolite bar rather than 4. Four bars would definitely be better but 2 was sufficient in adding the choc flavor and chunks. I just shaved off some of it and chopped some with the knife and tossed in.
