How to make a perfect low-carb pepernoten

Huh, pepernoten?
Of course, we don’t need to tell this our Dutchies. As, pepernoten are a Dutch traditional treat. Actually, these are sort of small, delicious biscuits. Very yummy, but we (unfortunately) only eat them in December. That is when we celebrate Sinterklaas in the Netherlands! This holiday is all about treats and presents for the children. But don’t worry, we are sharing a low-carb pepernoten recipe just for you.  

Preparation time: approx. 40 minutes.

Ingredients for 60 pepernoten recipe:

70 gr almond flour
30 gr coconut flour
40 gr dairy butter/ghee
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp biscuit & speculaas spices

Prepare your perfect pepernoten recipe

Preheat the oven to 150 °C.
Cover a baking tray with baking paper.
Put all the ingredients together in a bowl.
Mix all the ingredients together. This is easiest by hand.
Form small balls from the mixture. Flatten them out a little and place them on the baking tray.
Bake the pepernoten for 10 minutes in the preheated oven at 150 °C.
To ensure that the pepernoten get crunchy, bake the pepernoten for another 5 minutes at 180 °C. But, keep an eye on them so that they do not burn.
