Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and gather your mixing bowls and baking sheets.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, almond flour, protein powder, granulated sugar substitute, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk thoroughly for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Slowly add milk to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, until a manageable dough forms.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
  5. Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thick.
  6. Lightly spray the surface of the rolled dough, mix together cinnamon and sugar substitute, and sprinkle it evenly on top.
  7. Cut the dough into cereal-sized squares or rectangles.
  8. Transfer the pieces onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 16-18 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely for about 30 minutes before breaking apart.
