Pumpkin Cookies
These tasty little cookies are a low calorie, low carbohydrate and high a protein treat. Made with almond flour in place of regular flour, these treats make a nutritious and tasty addition to any meal or snack.Almond flour is a baking alternative that can be great for diabetics or people watching their carbohydrate intake. You can replace regular flour in any recipe with almond flour for similar results. Since this type of flour is expensive though I’d reserve it to make those low carbohydrate treats you want to have every once in awhile. Also be sure to store your flour in the refrigerator as it will go rancid if left out.
