Ingredients

2-1/2 Tbsp. fructose
1/2 C. egg substitute, or 1 large egg plus 2 large egg whites
4 Tbsp. softened margarine
juice and grated zest of a lemon
1/8 tsp. almond extract
1-1/2 C. sifted unbleached flour
2-3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Cooking Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Combine fructose and egg substitute; beat until light and fluffy. Add margarine, lemon juice, lemon zest, almond extract, flour, and baking powder. Mix well. Place 3/4 of the dough mixture on a floured board. Form into a rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Add cocoa and cinnamon to remaining dough and spread over rectangle. Fold both sides of dough into the middle to make a long, flattened log. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from oven and slice with a very sharp knife into 1/2-inch slices. Preheat broiler. Place slices on an ungreased baking sheet and broil for a few moments on each side, being careful, as these burn easily. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
