Ingredients

• 6 ounces mozzarella cheese
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup coconut flour
• ½ cup sunflower seed flour or almond flour
• ¼ cup whey protein powder unflavored
• ⅓ cup monk fruit with allulose or see notes above
• 2 teaspoon fast acting dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup sugar free chocolate chips optional

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Place all ingredients into a food processor and process until combined and forms a dough.
• Place the dough into a microwavable bowl and microwave 1-2 minutes until soft. (See alternative above if you don’t want to use the microwave.)
• Dough will be sticky. Place it onto a piece of parchment paper on a stable surface. Place another piece over the dough and use a rolling pin to flatten the dough and form a 12 inch circle. Spray a pizza cutter with olive oil cooking spray and cut the dough into 8 triangles.
• Press chocolate chips if using, into each triangle of dough then wet hands because dough is sticky then roll each one up to form a crescent shape. Place onto prepared baking sheet pan.
• Place sheet pan into the middle rack of your oven and bake 20-25 minutes until lightly golden brown.
• Once cool, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
