Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup whey protein powder
- 1/4 cup sweetener (e.g., erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit)

- A pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil

Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
