1 tablespoon sugar-free maple-flavored syrup

1 egg

2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

1/2 cup Splenda or Stevia Extract in the Raw, or 1/4 cup New Roots Stevia Sugar

Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly mist a baking pan with spray oil or line it with parchment paper or a silicone mat and then mist the surface. 2 In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, pecan flour, sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and ginger and whisk until well mixed. In a large bowl, whisk the egg, sweet potato, and syrup together until thoroughly blended. Add the flour mixture and stir with a large spoon for 1 to 2 minutes to make a stiff, playdough-like dough. 3 Oil your hands and gently form the mixture into small balls, using about 1 oz of dough for each. Place the balls on the prepared pan, spacing them about 3 inches apart (to allow space for pressing down). Once all of the batter is formed into balls, rub some oil on the pinky-side edge of your hand and press down on each ball with the oiled part of your hand twice, forming a crisscross shape and slightly flattening the balls. 4 Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate and bake for about 10 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch. 5 Immediately transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool for 3 minutes. Split and serve them while still warm.
