INGREDIENTS

▢
175 g / a generous 1 1/2 cups coarsely ground walnuts
▢
1 medium egg
▢
25 g / 2 heaped tablespoons powdered sweetener (So Nourished)
▢
1 tsp cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 180 Celsius
Beat the egg with the sweetener and cinnamon
Add the ground walnuts
Have a little taste! If you have a sweet tooth, you may want to add another teaspoon of sweetener.
Form little balls and place on a baking sheet (I greased mine with walnut oil – I would have used baking paper had I not run out)
Bake for 10 minutes or until nicely browned
You could experiment with other spices – I think cardamom or mixed spice / pumpkin spice would work well with this recipe.
