Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- ¾ cup almond flour 75g
- ¼ cup coconut flour 30g
- 2 tablespoons pea protein powder 16g (or use egg white protein)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- ⅔ cup full fat cottage cheese 140g, I used 6.5% fat.
- 2 eggs large
- 1 cup shredded cheese 113g, I used a medium cheddar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 / 400F (electric) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put the cottage cheese, eggs and shredded cheese into a food processor and blend until smooth. Or, use a large mixing bowl and an electric mixer.
- Add the dry ingredients and process until just mixed and a sticky dough forms.
- Spoon the dough into 8 heaps (around 50g each). Shape around the bottom if necessary, but do not compact the top. Leave a little space between them as the batter will spread.
- Bake 13 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on the top and cooked through in the center. Best served warm.
