Try these instead:
1/2 cup vanilla whey or egg white protein
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
1/4 cup butter or coconut oil
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup erythritol
1 tsp stevia glycerite
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a medium bowl, stir together the whey, almond flour, sweetener, spices and salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the butter lumps are smaller than peas form a stiff dough. On parchment paper (lightly sprayed with coconut oil spray: click HERE to find it), roll the dough out to 1/8 inch in thickness. Using a pizza cutter, cut into squares and "score" with a fork (to look like graham crackers). Place parchment onto cookie sheets. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes in the preheated oven (remove and score the cookies again...they will bake together otherwise), bake an additional 5 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets to cool on wire racks. Makes 24 crackers.
Enjoy with a glass of unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
