High Protein/Low Carb Biscuit Recipe

Here is a great recipe for High Protein - Low carb biscuits that are simple to make and are a great change to have with Tuna or dips.
This is a Phase 2 or Transformation Recipe

Ingredients
4 Heaped Dessert Spoons Plain Pea Protein Powder (We like the Clean, Lean Protein Powder available from www.vitalhealthnz.com and if you buy online you can give our code and you will get 15% discount!)
4 Dessert Spoons of Chia Seeds- Any sort will do, there are at least two different colours
Approximately 200mll of water
Spices, I really like cumin and coriander but you can try any flavour that you like
Himalayan Salt to taste - My favourite is the black Himalayan salt as it contains sulphur and adds a lot of nutritional benefits to the mix
Handful of Sunflower and/or pumpkin seeds
Optional 1/2 teaspoon of tamari soy sauce - beware of this as it can effect weight as it is a high allergen but it does add a great flavour.

(This is the protein Powder we recommend)

How To

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowel
Add water and stir well
Leave to stand for 15-20 minutes so that the water is absorbed and the mixture holds it's shape when put onto a baking sheet.
Heat Oven to about 180 Degrees
Put Wax paper onto baking sheet
Form into biscuit shapes making them quite flat

Cook until they pull off of the baking sheet (about 20 minutes)  If you require them very crunchy turn them over and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Serve with dips or for lunch with tuna and cucumber.

These are the chia seeds (they are tiny, slightly smaller than sesame seeds)

These Delicious biscuits are really lovely and when we have served them NONE get left over so we don't know how long they will keep for. But as they have no preservatives they probably won't keep too long.
