Servings: 5
Calories: 236kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter cold, 60g
- 4 tablespoon granulated erythritol
- 3 tablespoon whey protein powder
- 1 cup almond flour 100g
- 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder or 2 tablespoon flax meal
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum optional
For the topping
- 1-2 tablespoon 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 with the sweetener until creamy.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and add them to the butter/sweetener mixture. Blend until your dough resembles moist crumbles.
- Form the dough into a ball and roll out thinly between 2 sheets of baking paper. This prevents the dough from sticking to your rolling pin.
- Peel off the top layer of parchment paper and sprinkle the dough with a topping made from more cinnamon and erythritol. Press the topping onto the dough with your hands.
- Cut into squares with a knife and prick each square with a fork to prevent large air bubbles.
- Bake in the oven 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.

Notes
2.8g net carbs per serving. Makes 5 servings of a heaped ⅓ cup or 40g.
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 flaxseed.
If you are using an electric mixer, mix the dough with room temperature butter. Then wrap the dough in cling film and chill it for 30 minutes before you roll it out.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
