3 tablespoon Zero Calorie 1:1 Sugar Substitute, 18g
1½ teaspoon Cinnamon
Optional: 2 tablespoon Chopped Pecans, 28g
Instructions

7. Place the coated balls into the loaf pan in layers.
8. Bake for 20 minutes uncovered, then cover with foil and continue baking for 10 to 15 more minutes.
9. Let it rest for 10 minutes before turning out onto a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Add stevia if your protein powder is not sweet enough. For variations, consider oat flour or chopped nuts between layers.
