Protein Scones
Get creative with these and add whatever you like - unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut shavings, dried cranberries, walnuts, etc. I added 1/4 cup of raisins and a 1/2 Tablespoon of cinnamon, but any add-ins that you like will work. Dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, whatever. Add something though, or these will be really boring.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plus 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, or chocolate, or whatever. I used Vanilla Metabolic Drive
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1 Tbsp of Stevia
- 4 egg whites
- 2 Tablespoons 0% fat Greek Yogurt, or pumpkin puree Your choice. I used pumpkin. Unsweetened applesauce will also work.
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon
Drop 9 spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray or smeared with coconut oil, and slightly spread them out just a bit.
Bake until the peaks barely start to turn golden, about 12 minutes. They should still be slightly soft when you take them out.
WARNING: Watch these closely and don't overbake them, otherwise you will have rock-hard protein doggy biscuits for Fido.
Makes 9 scones. The following macros are for the basic mix, not including the raisins. Remember, any add-ins will change these numbers:

Cookie Dough Balls
I got this recipe from Angela Liddon. These are pretty calorically dense, however they are made with whole unprocessed foods, which makes them a great treat once in awhile. These are delicious and taste just like cookie dough. They are so easy to make - your kids will love these, too!
