Servings

2.5 tbsp fructose sweetener
0.5 cup liquid egg substitute (or 1 large egg plus 2 whites)
4 reduced fat margarine (80%)
1 fresh lemon juice, per fruit , and its peel, grated
0.12 tsp almond extract
1.5 cup white all purpose flour , sifted
2.75 tsp low sodium baking powder
0.5 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon

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