Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (100 g) organic brown sugar or a carb-free sweetener of your choice
• 1 1/2 cups (200 g) raw peanuts
• 2 egg whites
• Zest of one orange (optional; you can use vanilla, lemon zest, or other spices you may prefer)
• 2 tbsp chopped raw peanuts (for garnish, optional)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Roast the raw peanuts at 350°F for 10 minutes. This reduces their moisture content and makes them easier to blend.
3. In a food processor, blend the brown sugar until it reaches a powdered consistency.
4. Add the roasted peanuts to the food processor and blend until they reach a powdered, almost liquid consistency.
5. During the blending process, add the orange zest (or your preferred flavoring).
6. Gradually add the egg whites, one at a time, blending until a sticky dough forms.
7. Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl and let it rest for about 15 minutes.
8. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
9. Spoon equal portions of the sticky dough onto the lined baking pan. The portions will naturally form round biscuit shapes.
10. If desired, sprinkle some chopped raw peanuts on top for a nice finishing touch.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are lightly browned.
12. Let the biscuits cool before enjoying their simplicity and deliciousness.
