2 tbsp oat flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
25g rich chocolate protein (1 serving) (15% off link)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
2 tbsp vegan yogurt

Recipe:
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a small baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
To a small sauce pan add: pecans, maple syrup, and cinnamon.
Bring heat to medium low and cook, stirring constantly until pecans are caramelized, 1-2 minutes. Set pecans aside and immediately rinse pan so the sugar doesn't stick.
To a mixing bowl add: oat flour, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk to combine.
Add in yogurt and 2 tbsp almond milk.
Mix well forming a dough.
If needed add 1-2 tbsp more almond milk until you have a sticky cookie dough texture.
Roll into one large cookie and flatten onto the prepared baking tray.
Chop the caramelized pecans and add to the top of the cookie.
Bake for 10 minutes or until lightly browning on the bottom.
Allow to cool.
If desired drizzle in melted chocolate.
Enjoy!
