So I've been focused on getting more fiber into my diet but finding ways to get flax or psyillium husk into my food without drinking it straight up or making a smoothie was getting complicating. So I decided to try and come up with a.... something. I had almond butter balls in mind but they're really high sugar. And I'm back on my low carb diet now. I researched cracker recipes but I couldn't come up with anything (most of them took 3+ hours to bake. I'm too impatient for that). So here we are. I melted together the oil, almond butter, and agave syrup first then mixed in the dry. I separated the chocolate chips into 8 piles, scooped the mixture on top evenly, and wrapped individually in saran wrap. So each one has 3 net carbs and 5 grams of fiber. Seemed like a good plan to me.
