Protein Scones

Found this great recipe and my two year old loved it!   The almond flour is a wonderful source of protein and the oatmeal adds fiber.  I think they turned out a little more like cookies than scones, but however you make them they are tasty (and easy to make)!  I doubled the recipe so I could have some for the freezer, and they went quickly so it’s a good thing I did.  I think chopped walnuts instead of the cranberries or chocolate chips or even in addition would also be wonderful.

1) Heat oven to 350 degrees.

2) Coat 2 large baking sheets sheets with vegetable oil spray.

3) Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir until well blended: 2 1/2 c. almond flour, 1 c. liquid egg whites, 3/4 cup vanilla whey protein powder, 1/2 c. granulated Splenda or 6 tsp. granulated Stevia, 1/2 c. old fashioned oats, 1/2 c. dark chocolate chips, 1/2 c. dried cranberries (or raisins), 1 TBS cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg.

4) Place 2-inch spoonfuls of batter on baking sheets and bake until peaks begin to brown, 15-18 min.
