• 4 scoops LA Whey Gold (flavour of your choice, I used Vanilla)
• 400g LA Peanut Butter Crunchy or Smooth
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 cup coconut flour
• 4 medium eggs
• 1 tsp cinnamon

- Before you start, pre-heat your oven.

- In a bowl, crack in the eggs and then add all of the ingredients with the cup of coconut flour being sieved into the mixture.

- The coconut oil should be soft or a liquid so if it's not just put it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds.

- Mix everything together until it's in a thick, but smooth, consistency.

- Get a little bit of coconut oil and grease a rectangular 23x33cm baking tray with it.

- Roll mixture into evenly shaped balls and place on baking tray.

- Pop the baking tray in the oven and bake at 180 C / Gas mark 4 for 20 - 25 minutes.

- Keep an eye on them around the 15 to 20 minute mark and allow extra time if required to brown.

- When ready, remove from oven and leave to cool for at least 5 minutes.
