- 1 onion, diced (2g fiber)

-1 tsp garlic chopped

- 1 tsp each of salt, smoked paprika, cumin, and red or black pepper

- 3 cups extra-chopped broccoli (7g fiber and 8g protein)

- 1 1/2 cups almond flour (fiber 18g and 36g protein)

- 1/2 cup coconut flour (fiber 21g and 10g protein)

- 3 tsp baking powder

- 1 tsp salt

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: almond flour, coconut flour, Zen Basil seeds, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

3. Finely chop the broccoli and add it to the large mixing bowl.

4. Dice the onion and sauté it in a little avocado oil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Then add it to the large mixing bowl.

5. In the same pan, sauté the ground chicken over medium heat, till golden add fresh garlic sauté 1 min and add the seasoning salt, smoked paprika, cumin, and red or black pepper. Cook until fully cooked, stirring frequently then add it to the large mixing bowl.

6. In a separate medium mixing bowl, whisk together 6 eggs. For the 7th egg, crack the yolk into the bowl and save the white to brush over the biscuits just before baking. This gives the biscuits a golden brown color.

7. Pour the beaten eggs from the medium mixing bowl into the large mixing bowl. Stir everything together until well combined.

8. Scoop the mixture into about 10 evenly sized balls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top of each ball with a little egg white.
