RE: Low-carb Paleo friendly high fat (the good kind) chocolate macroons!!
They look absolutely delicious jonsax!
Eating foods that tastes unhealthy, but is in fact good for you always brings a smile to my face. I feel like I've found a loop hole to a magical world where I can eat an unlimited amount of the "all too good to be healthy" foods.
Some years ago I was prette fanatic about health and diet and experimented a great deal with oat based flour. My best recipe was fruit and oat muffins.
Unfortunately I do not have the recipe anylonger, but it was kind of similar to this:

Mmmh those were good!
I have followed you, try to publish more delicious magic foods ;)

Hey Ronni, thanks for the kind words! I hope you try the recipe! They are REALLY good... I'm going to make a video post of the process next time I make them. Thanks for the follow!
Hello jonsax and good to see you back on Steemit!
I have not had the chance to try your chocolate macroons as of yet, but I just started my summer vacation today (weee!), so maybe I will find time during the next couple of weeks. Actually that would be a great activity together with my kids..
Is the "erythritol or xylitol" necessary? I am not sure what it is and I am not sure if I can find them here in Denmark..
Great idea to make a video, that is an easy format for readers here on Steemit.

Hey Ronni,
Yes, the erythritol or xylitol is necessary to have them be "no carb" sweetened. If you are on the low carb diet, or paleo. But if you don't care about carbs, sweeten them with whatever tastes good to you! But the point of the recipe is keeping them in a low-carb high-fat state. You can probably order the erythritol or xylitol on line. That's how I get mine. ;-D These sweeteners are natural sugar alcohols that actually do contain glucose, but it's in a format that the body doesn't recognize, and gut bacteria don't consume, so most of it is excreted in the urine (90% of it), the rest is processed in the liver. I have read that these two sugar alcohols are derived from corn. You can read a little about it here: http://www.livestrong.com/article/556918-the-disadvantages-of-erythritol/
happy eating!!
The modern kitchen turned into a science lab :)
I have recently started eating more raw food. Trying to avoid sugar and processed foods. That might be the first step towards a healthy low carb diet.
Thank you for the thorough explanation jonsax!
