Ingredients

1 cup almond flour
1/2 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder or cacao powder
6 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup keto maple syrup or regular maple syrup if not low carb
1 egg white

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Option 1: Shape into balls about 1/4 tsp each in volume and place on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Option 2: Place the dough in a piping bag and pipe directly on to the parchment paper into small dots. They won't be perfectly circular this way but will bake just fine.
Option 3: Roll the dough into a thin layer between 2 parchment papers. Use the back of a knife and score the dough into small squares, about 1/2 inch wide. You can break the squares apart after baking and completely cooled.
Bake for 13-14 minutes until the cereal gets crispy. If you chose option 3, they may be done after 10-11 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool completely. The cocoa puffs will get crunchier as they cool.
Enjoy with your favorite milk!
These are best enjoyed right away, but you can store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week. They may soften up during storage but you can re-bake at the same temperature for 5 minutes to crisp them up again.
