Mescolando ingredienti a caso (semi di chia, olio di cocco, latte di mandorla, yogurt greco, burro di arachidi, burro, proteine in polvere gusto cacao, dolcificante), in proporzioni altrettanto a caso, ... sono usciti dei biscotti ketogenici niente male! Grazie anche alla nuova friggitrice ad aria.
