Tried out this recipe with a few tweaks (as usual):

http://lowcarbyum.com/coconut-flour-chocolate-chip-cookie-dough/

Instead of coconut flour, I actually used 28% fat peanut flour because coconut flour has a LOT of carbs especially when a recipe calls for more than just a few tablespoons of the stuff (it also has way more fiber too though).

I also used yacon syrup instead of molasses because it usually has less carbs & sugar per serving than molasses does, yet you still get the same flavor and color with yacon syrup.

As always, if if you use the equivalent in liquid sugar substitute (I did with this recipe), the carbs per serving are less. I was very happy with the nutritional info breakdown using the peanut flour:

2.3g total carbs per ball
0.8g fiber
1.5g net carbs per ball (and I got 29.5 scoops compared to the 27 the recipe is supposed to give you)

Because of the peanut flour I used, these turned out tasting less like chocolate chip cookie dough and more like peanut butter chocolate chip dough. lol YUM! Enjoy!

    Oh yeah, by the way, don't believe the nutritional data breakdown info the author of the recipe provides. Unless you plan on following the recipe exactly as it's written, it's nowhere near close to what the carb count per scoop turned out to be and I'm sure those of you who cook already know that the brands of ingredients you use will affect and change the nutritional data breakdown information...sometimes for the better...and sometimes not.

    I finally got to try some this morning for breakfast and although I am not a huge peanut butter fan, I have to say these were damn good!!
