Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. In a separate bowl, stir together ground almonds, vanilla whey protein powder, oat bran, baking soda and salt.

If you use blackstrap molasses (the darkest molasses you can buy), it takes much less to make brown sugar when combining with maltitol or splenda. Considering molasses is sugar carbs, the less you have to use, the better.

Wheat bran versus oat bran

This is an excellent recipe and I've enjoyed a couple of batches over the last couple of months, but I substitued wheat for oat - much lower in carbs.
