Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, and salt.

Notes
- For a keto-friendly version, use a low-carb sweetener like erythritol and sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Customize by adding crushed nuts, shredded coconut, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
