It is not crucial, really. I used coconut flour because I like nutrients that gives me. You can use or white flour or rice flour, it depends if you want to get gluten free biscuits or not. There is another option, if you prefer more proteins the protein powder it's even better solution( vanilla flavor).

Aleksandra Zobić (author) 5 months ago

How crucial is the coconut flour? I don't really like coconut, so is there anything I could replace it with? These look delicious!

Kat Ewing 5 months ago

No, actually, I'm sorry I was holding them in the fridge, just for 3 days, not in the freezer. But I guess you can hold then there as well so you just defrost them before using.

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Yes of course, then they will be very refreshing. I was holding them in the freezer as well.

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Can you put these in the freezer?

Cerahf C. last year

Thank you for the recipe will be trying jt soon:)

Chox M last year

Maggie you don't have to use plums, I had to add them coz they make(together with raisins) this biscuits sweet. And that's my favorite fruit so it was just my choice. You can add let's say fresh Raspberries or Blueberries, something that would make this biscuits sweet. Of even dry figs. They are very sweet as well.

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Thanks Chris for your advice.

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Hi. Normally when we talk about protein powder we mean whey protein. Whey protein is delicate stuff and will not withstand high temperatures. The amino acids which make up the powder will be destroyed, rendering the addition of it useless. I would just add more nuts to the recipe to increase protein or, if possible, add more egg whites.

Chris C last year

Pablo it's not a measure it's a number of slices. 4x7=28 because you slice the whole thing in 4 lines and then you slice again each part and you get in each line 7 biscuits. ;)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

The measure of 7x4 it's based on centimeters or inches?

Pablo Rogel last year

Chris so you don't recommend that? I know that with cooking we destroy some proteins but is it the same with cooking protein powder? Or there are some specific p.powder for cooking?

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Just to say, if you're thinking of adding protein powder then you're wasting your money, cooking protein powder destroys the integrity of the protein.

Chris C last year

:) hope you'll like them! Let me know!

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Wow they look great i an always up for healthy snacks with no sugar u rock will bake soon and let u know how they tasted

Akmal Sheikh last year

Another thing please add just 100g of raisins coz they contain a lot of sugar. Or replace them completely with dry plums.

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Thanks so much Heidi. I'm really sorry for your husband coz I know the way some disease can change your life. Fruit :/ as you probably know all types of fruit contain sugar. I would recommend you maybe Cranberries and Raspberries. Cranberries have 12g carbohydrates, 5g fiber and 4g of sugar, raspberries have 12 g carbohydrates, 7g fiber and 4g sugar. So I would say it's one of good options. What I would recommend is to read about cinnamon benefits when controlling diabetes. Here for example one web site http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/dr-mercola/cinnamon-diabetes-_b_839487.html

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

I'm always looking for delicious snacks just like this! My husband is a diabetic. Carbohydrate-Rich (anything) is not good for any diabetic. Ooh Aleksandra!!!! Why why why did you post this?!!!! This has to be just heavenly!!! I'm personally looking for very high fibre fruits... Any suggestions... Ooh, another idea... Give lemon peel a try when warm weather is around... Yokes, please don't throw it out! Put it in an airtight glass and use it for breading fish, et... Mix it with water or cream or milk and use it as egg-wash. If you have to use it right away, creme brûlée is heavenly.. Oy! Yes- its fattening.. But certainly not something one eats regularly. 1-2 times a year?! Or... Cook it and use for fried rice? Or if you have furry canines, cook it and add (little bit) to their dinner.

Heidi Feldman last year

Thanks Zoe! :) It is very tasty! No, I still don't have a website, but my boyfriend and I are planning to create one where we will be posting really good things. He'll be giving advices about exercising and me about food/healthy food, healthy recipes, how to change your food habits and many other things. So ;) stay tuned!

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Looks delicious do you have a website?

Zoe Taylor last year

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Looks yummy!! Going to make it for sure!! :)

Pamela LeBaron last year

It's not healthy, but creme brûlée calls for egg yolks! :)

Sharifa Simon last year

:) same here!

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

I just need a recipe now for 10 egg yolks :)

Steve Osborn last year

That's great!!! I'm very glad to hear that! Next time I'll add some berries as well. Ohhh can't wait to prepare them again! :)))

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

I jus made these and they are amazing! I threw in some berries too, thank you for sharing!

Steve Osborn last year

@Luke I think you can leave them for 10 days. Even though I have never tried that I do think it's possible. We ate them in 2 days(3 of us) coz we couldn't control.:) If you think you are not going to eat all that you can prepare half of the size. But you'll eat at least 4 of them a day so still that's 7 days. Next time I'll try that. To leave them for 10 days so I see what will happen. ( another good idea you gave to me)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

@Aleksandra how long it takes for them to be out of date?

Luke Grem last year

@ Derek that's a great idea. Actually this biscuits are not too rich in protein but they are comparing to other biscuits. I think the best about this recipe it that all ingredients are very healthy and that the sugar comes just from plums and raisins which are in the same time rich in fiber. Adding some protein powder would make them perfect. I have never cooked before with protein powder... Have to learn that. Thank you guys for great ideas! Next time I prepare this biscuits will be much better! ;)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

@Vanessa That's just a common misconception. Eggs are actually not considered a dairy product, which refers to the product of the mammary glands of mammals such as cows, goats, sheep and others, and the products derived thereof. This misconception is often a result of a confusion between the terms dairy product and animal byproduct. While eggs are, indeed, produced by animals they are not a dairy product or a derivative of dairy products.

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Just to say in regard to those wanting to use this recipe as a bodybuilding source, adding the egg yolk will not massively boost the protein as most of the protein from an egg is in the white. The yolk is full of fat and cholesterol. If you really want to up the protein just add some protein powder. Alternatively maybe the protein powder could be used in some kind of frosting...

Derek Smith last year

Just wondering, how is it considered dairy free if there are egg whites in it? I have seen many recipes that say that and I just don't understand. I don't want to eat dairy but really want to make these. Thanks!

Vanessa Mobley last year

Nice one- thanks for the tips!

Tom Veck last year

To keep them for 10 days wouldn't be any problem, I'm sure. Coz you don't put any milk, yolk, or something that can stay just for 3 days. In this case you need 10 egg whites coz all other ingredients are very dry. If you want to put let's say 6 or 7 egg whites you just put less coconut flour, let's say add 100g instead of 200g. Coz the coconut flour is very dry ingredient. And that would be also great coz of calories(remember that 100g of coconut flour has 660 kcal, 64g of fat and 23g of carbohydrates). Actually you gave me some new ideas now!:)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Any idea how long they keep for? Im always looking for healthy filling snacks for work but need to make big batches due to lack of time. Also, are all the egg whites needed for the recipe, or added just to increase the protein content?

Tom Veck last year

;)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

This is great! Thank you for sharing x

Maureen Torpey last year

Awesome!!! Thank you

Francisco Juarrero last year

And Francisco check out my friend's profile 'Italo Grossi' he has there some good nutrient dense recipes. ;)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Hi! Thanks! :) I'm not an expert really. But I wouldn't recommend you sugar. Yolks are ok, but not 10 of them( that's a lot of cholesterol). I suppose you want to gain muscles not fat. So you better take some healthy snacks like almonds(575 kcal, 22g of protein), hazelnuts(646 kcal, 15g of protein), pumpkin seeds( 559 kcal, 30g of protein), dry fruit like raisins, plums, bananas( they are rich in fiber) . And seriously try to avoid cereal based snacks or regular biscuits, they are just rich in sugar. Eat food with good proportion of Carbohydrates/ proteins like beans, peas, lentils, quinoa. So you don't gain just fat, but also some muscles. ;)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Hi, first of all, awesome recipe!! I really want to try it. However, I am trying to gain weight since I'm a hard gainer; therefore do you think I can add the yolks plus sole sugar into the mix? I want calories but healthy food. Thank you in advance

Francisco Juarrero last year

Yes Super Girl!:) In Europe we call them flour. So they are the same things we just use names coconut flour for desiccated coconut and almond flour for almond meal. :)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

When u say almond flour and coconut flour, is this the same as almond meal and desiccated coconut? I'm in Australia and don't know these flours..I really wNt to make them .. Thanx :)

Dim Slim last year

Thank you,Kridoou

Janice Roth last year

He's just om

Janice Roth last year

I'll post tomorrow nutrition facts. Remember that Raisins, dry plums, coconut flour are healthy sources of carbohydrates because they contain fiber which body needs.

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Egg whites- 2g, Hazelnuts-18g, Dry Plums 59x1.5-88,5g, Coconut flour2x26-52g, Raisins -79g, Almond flour-6g in all 245.5g I got 28 biscuits so that would be less than 9g per biscuit.

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Do you know how many carbs are in a slice?

K K last year

@Janice Just go on my profile and you'll find them there. Next week I'll be posting more of them! :)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

@Chris I got 28 slices(7x4). In this case I wouldn't put yolks inside the mixture. 10 yolks would made the mixture very different and yolks without sugar :/ I don't think it would taste good. If you have any suggestion how to include yolks in this recipe( without adding any sugar) please text me coz I was feeling sorry throwing them away .

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Looks great! Where can I find more of your recipes?

Janice Roth last year

Looks good. How many slices are made from one bake? Could you add the yolks as well to boost the protein content? Seems like they'd be good for bodybuilding.

Chris C last year

Here in Italy I buy egg whites in packaging of 1liter. I have never prepared a cake with those whites. Coz I was usually using 2/3 eggs for cakes, not 10 of them.:) I'll try to use them next time. If you want to try just remember that 1 egg white has around 33g so don't use the whole packaging.

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

I'll explain to you why I didn't add yolks here. The first reason was coz of calories. The second reason was that would change proportion fat/proteins. The third was coz I wanted to prepare something with just good fats. This was my first time I prepared this kind of biscuits and that was the first idea. Now you can add yolks, give it a try. Or you can simply fry those yolks and use it with some salad.

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Do you have a recipe to use the yolks in? Can you use a carton of egg whites instead?

But less then similar store bought cookies + I know what's inside. Thanks for the guide.

Tomislav Pancirov last year

:) ok good luck! It's very easy to prepare it. Hope everything will work! But watch out at nutrition facts coz it's not so low in calories. ;)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Cool thanks, I'm preparing this today! Hold your fingers crossed it's my first baking experience :)

Tomislav Pancirov last year

No there is no need for that coz hazelnuts are already very greasy. You just place them in the pan on a very low heat and fry them till you don't see it's done. Don't burn them!:)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Do you fry them with oil/butter or without it?

Ah.. Yes.. It's geography. ;). Coconut flour in the states is usually like white flour as you said. I have both coconut flour and "medium shaved coconut" which looks like what you have there. I think course is better in this. Thanks for the recipe. Looks amazing.

Paul Lyet last year

We call it here coconut flour. You have very fine coconut flour which is very similar to white flour. And it's called 'extra fine coconut flour'. This one here is just regular coconut flour. I don't know how it looks shaved coconut really. :/ It could be the same thing. What do you think?

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Is this coconut flour? Looks like shaved coconut..

Marc Robertson last year

I'm very glad if I can help.:)

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Less proteins is OK as long as I stay alive! ;) Thanks for the suggestions.

Håkan Olofsson last year

Thanks! It depends of ingredients you want to avoid. You can put instead of egg whites around 250g of butter. In that case you add just 100g of coconut flour. And you can chop that orange there. I think it would be ok. But then you'll have less proteins.

Aleksandra Zobić (author) last year

Looks very nice! But what's if you're alergic to egg? Have any alternatives?

Håkan Olofsson last year

Looking forward to trying this! Looks great
