    These were delicious!!! I added 1 scoop of collagen peptides to give them 6g more protein, I substituted chocolate whey with vanillla, I used all natural peanut butter, and substituted water with Almond milk. I did have to add about 1/4tsp extra of almond milk. I added chocolate chips right into dough mix (I only had the regular size chips so the mixed better in the dough lol)
    Thank you so much for sharing!!

      So glad you ladies love this recipe. Thanks for the feedback and tell your daughter thank you for sharing it!

  3. Johananha Graham says

    Can you substitute the almond flour for a different flour other than coconut? i have reactions to both flours??

    • Rena says

      Hi Johananha. You can use oat flour. Or make your own oat flour by blending some rolled oats until they are fine and use that instead.

    • Rena says

      That’s odd. I am not sure but usually, if it is a bit loose or watery you add more almond flour or protein and it should work.

  4. Amy says

    My dough came out really wet and I couldn’t roll them properly. I followed the recipe. What should I do?

    • Rena says

      Hi Amy,
      I’ve made this many times and it works for me. I am sorry! you can add either more almond flour or more protein
