Very disappointed. Tried it twice now and the same result.
Didnt shape with cooking. Look like dark rock cakes.
Won’t be trying a 3rd batch.
Complete waste of ingredients.
If I tried to make these with aquafaba instead of the eggs, how would it alter the exchanges of 0 Carb, 1 Protein, 1 Fat ?
Hi, Caryl. It would contain 2/3 protein exchange instead of 1.
Hi, docporter. Sorry to read that! What was it about the taste? What sweetener did you use?
The worst part is the waste of my time and perfectly good ingredients. This also went right into the trash after just one bite………terrible!
I can’t wait to try these.
This sounds delicious
I was right, they are really horrible! They went straight in the bin. Very disappointed…
I have these baking in the oven as we speak but don’t hold out much hope for them! They haven’t flattened either and look like balls of cement!!!
Hi, RMpage. Nut flours can be used in place of regular flours with certain adjustments. It is increasingly common, as people want healthy ways to avoid gluten and reduce carbohydrate intake.
I made these and they were not good. They were not liquid enough so that when I cooked them they did not flatten and tasted terrible. I would like to make them again maybe with less almond flour and another egg and no coffee.
Responses to questions below:
– Ground almonds serve as flour
– Stevia powder is a sugar substitute. In the amount in the recipe, you can substitute monk fruit sweetener.
– Coffee does refer to the espresso powder
How can you make cookies without any flour?
Is stevia powder a sugar substitue? If so, can other sugar substitutes replace stevia?
Used ground beans for coffee powder , honey to sweeten I haven’t managed to locate all ingredients required so as I am too impatient to wait I’m improvising .
Any one try these? No sugar? How did they turn out?
In the Coffee Almond cookies recipe it says to process the almonds, coffee and salt. What coffee? Are they talking about the expresso powder???????
