Description

An easy and quick protein snack or meal that you whip up and store in the freezer. Suitable for Atkins, Keto, LCHF, low carb, Paleo, diabetic, low glycemic, gluten free, grain free, sugar free, coconut free, low potassium, low sodium, CKD/Renal Diet. Dairy Free option.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups Low Moisture Unsweetened Cranberries, Rehydrated (See Notes)
  • 3 drops Liquid Sucaralose
  • Hot Water To Cover Cranberries
  • ¾ cups Almond Butter, Unsweetened
  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • ½ teaspoons Maple Extract
  • 2 ounces, weight Isopure Whey Protein Isolate Unflavored - 3/4 Cup (See Notes)
  • ½ cups Almond Flour, Fine Grind
  • 2 Tablespoons Lakanto Powdered Sweetener
  • ½ cups Pecans, Rough Chopped

Preparation

Chop the dried cranberries in half and place in a small bowl. Cover with very hot water, and add 3 drops of liquid sucralose or other liquid sweetener to taste. Allow to sit on counter for at least 10 minutes to soften and sweeten.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, melt the almond butter and coconut oil in the microwave or over a double boiler. I microwave for about 30 seconds.

Add all remaining ingredients, except the cranberries, and mix well. Drain and fold in the cranberries. The dough should be thick enough to scoop by this point.

Using a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop, scoop out 14 dough balls onto your parchment-lined cookie sheet. Dampen your fingers and flatten the dough balls into cookie shapes, about 2 1/2 inches wide (not too thin). Place cookie sheet in the freezer until the cookies have frozen, or at least become very solid.

Transfer to a freezable storage container with a lid, separating the cookie layers with bits of waxed or parchment paper to keep them from sticking together. Store in the freezer.

These cookies may be eaten directly from the freezer. I like to have one for a mid-afternoon protein snack with coffee, or sometimes have two or three for breakfast with tea.

Notes:
• I but low moisture unsweetened cranberries on Amazon and store them in my pantry for baking year-round. They are lower in carbs than raisins, but serve the same purpose in any recipe that calls for raisins, as did this inspiration recipe.
• I prefer to use Isopure Whey Protein Isolate in baking because it is a super fine powder (no grit), and it is zero net carbs. For a dairy free version, use your favorite dairy-free fine ground protein powder. If you use a different protein powder, your results and nutrition information may vary.
• Nutrition estimates are based on My Fitness Pal’s online recipe analyzer. Brand names are included only to assure more accurate estimates. The recipe is stored on and available to MFP users for logging in their food diaries. Sugar alcohols, Allulose, and liquid Sucralose are not absorbed by the body and rate zero on the glycemic index, so are excluded from nutrition counts.
