Special Notes
You can make these without any quality chocolate flavored protein powder. You will want to make sure it is a low-carb protein powder in order to get the same blood sugar stabilizing, ketone producing benefits. You could also do it without any protein powder and instead, just double your raw cacao powder.
We replaced the maple syrup that Megan used in the original recipe with the Lakanto keto maple syrup that is made from monk fruit and erythritol. These sweetener agents taste great and do not impact your blood sugar.
The batter on this will be sticky and it is important to put it on parchment paper, so you don’t make a mess on your pan as it hardens in the refrigerator. You will want to store the leftovers in the refrigerator as the taste and texture is the best when chilled!
Dr Jockers Comments
This is a super easy to make, nutrient dense, keto snack or dessert recipe that you will love! The ingredients help to support blood sugar stability, fat burning, improved circulation and positive neurotransmitter balance!
The combination of raw chocolate and coconut fats is a match made in heaven! Raw chocolate is rich in theobromine, PEA’s and polyphenols that improve circulation and dopamine production for improved mental drive and focus. Coconut provides MCT fats that are anti-inflammatory, easy on the digestive system and turn into ketones easier than longer chain fats.
I love the bone broth protein which is full of collagen protein to support your gut, skin, hair and metabolism. This protein is flavored with stevia and tastes wonderful and the health benefits are outstanding.
I just made these today – quite tasty! I downed three as my quick lunch and now I’m feeling the energy 🙂 I doubled the amount of raw cacao powder since I used unflavored protein powder (from grass fed cows) and next time I might try 3 Tbsp instead of 4 on the cacao, and perhaps an extra Tbsp of the wonderful keto maple syrup for a bit more sweetness. Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for reading and sharing your tips Ross!
Many of you recipes call for Honest Keto Maple syrup. If we do not have this, what could we use instead? Alternatively, can it simply be omitted (less sweetness in recipe) or should I use a little more liquid in the recipe?
Hey Ms. Kirby, I like using Honest syrups because they have a high fiber content. You could also use Lakanto syrup or honey but the honey has a higher glycemic load.
Can hydrolysis collagen protein be used?
