Low Carb Cocoa Puffs (4 Ingredients!)

 

Low carb cocoa puffs are one of the tastiest low carb cereal and low carb snacks.

Ingredients:

• ▢2/3 cup low carb protein powder chocolate (whey-based protein will give you the best results)
• ▢1 egg
• ▢1/4 cup low carb peanut butter softened + wet!
• ▢1 tablespoon swerve or lakanto

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl. If the batter seems dry/crumbly, add a few teaspoons of mild-tasting oil or coconut oil (this just means your peanut butter is dry).
• To make circles (takes a LOT more time, but they’re REALLY fun): pinch a thumbnail-sized amount of dough and roll between your hands to form a ball. Place on the baking sheet. Bake for 8 minutes, then take the baking sheet out of the oven and carefully move the balls around so they cook on the other side. Place back in the oven and cook another 5 minutes. Allow to cool and enjoy!
• To make squares: Place dough on a piece of parchment paper, with a second piece of parchment on top. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a thin and even layer about 1/4-1/8” thick. Remove the top piece of parchment paper. Use a pizza cutter, cut into small squares (about 1”). Bake in the oven for 5 minutes, then take the baking sheet out of the oven and carefully break up the squares, so they’re no longer connected. Bake for another 7 minutes. Allow to cool and enjoy!
