I developed these for a snack that has a little sweetness to it but moreso--lots of protein. The original recipe is good, but I've become concerned about using so much agave nectar--for one thing I've found out it's highly refined and can act on the body like high fructose corn syrup which is NOT a good thing. So I decided to try a version using natural sweeteners, and to make a couple of other changes. For one thing, this version is egg free.
They aren't 'low carb'. They do, however, pack a nice little punch in protein.
1/2 cup Nutribiotic Rice Protein Powder
1/2 cup coconut flour
1 cup finely ground almond meal
1/2 cup sunflower butter
1/4 cup dairy free margarine
Egg replacer to replace 2 eggs
1 tsp maple flavoring
1/3 cup honey and 1/3 cup maple syrup (or 1/2 cup agave nectar and 1/4 tsp liquid stevia)
1 cup GF, DF chocolate chips
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
Blend liquid ingredients first, including prepared egg replacer. Then add dry ingredients, and then stir in chocolate chips (use mixer to belnd). Scoop out onto lightly greased cookie sheet or into miniature muffin pans. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes (keep an eye on them). Cool before removing from pan. Serve with a tangy goat cheese or fresh raspberries.
Makes 30 cookies/mini-muffins. Three of these can replace breakfast bars for a quick snack or when you're on the go.
