Ingredients

1 large egg room temperature
1 cup peanut butter *creamy
1/3 cup almond flour
1/3 cup all natural zero calorie sweetener **
2 scoops collagen
1/4 teaspoon salt

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and stir together just until they are mixed. The batter will be thick and dense.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and roll into a ball. Repeat for the remaining dough.
Flatten the balls by placing a fork on top of them and gently pressing down. Rotate the fork 90 degrees and press down again.
Bake at 10-12 minutes until the cookies are set and edges are brown.
Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet 5 minutes prior to removing to harden.
Keep in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.

Notes

Different peanut butters and nut butters will work differently with this recipe. I used Target Organic creamy peanut butter. Make sure to stir well!
To keep the carbs lower, I used organic zero calorie all natural sweetener. I have also used liquid stevia using 3-4 drops and it was perfect. I love the Trader Joe's brand. It's the only stevia I like.
I have not tested other sugars in the recipe yet. If you test this recipe with other sugars, please let a comment so I can update the post for others.
My Amazon shop has more products similar to those used for this recipe and that I recommend to my weight loss clients.
