▢
1/4 cup / 60g butter cold
▢
4 tbsp granulated erythritol
▢
3 tbsp whey protein powder
▢
1 cup almond flour
▢
1 tbsp psyllium husk powder or 2 tbsp flax meal
▢
2 tsp cinnamon
▢
1/2 tsp baking powder
▢
1/2 tsp xanthan gum optional
▢
1-2 tbsp granulated erythritol
▢
1 tsp cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 170 Celsius / 340 Fahrenheit.
Cut the butter into small pieces and whizz in a food processor together with the erythritol until creamy.
Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and add to the butter/sweetener mix. Blend until your dough resembles moist crumbles.
Cut into squares with a knife and prick each square with a fork to prevent large air bubbles.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until browned.
Let the cereal cool COMPLETELY before you break it into squares. It is VERY soft when hot but will be crunchy once it’s cold.
VIDEO
The baking time will depend on how thick or thin you have rolled out your dough. Rotate the baking sheet if the back browns too quickly.
You can replace the psyllium husk with double the amount of ground flax seed.
The xanthan gum is optional, but it does give the dough extra crunch.
If you are using an electric mixer and not a food processor, it may be easier to mix the dough when the butter is at room temperature. In this case, wrap the dough in cling film and chill it for 30 minutes before you roll it out.
One portion is a heaped 1/3 cup or ca 40g.
