Single Serving Protein Cookie in White Chocolate Gingerbread!

Single serving and gluten free gingerbread cookie meets protein packed breakfast or snack! I first had white chocolate and gingerbread together at a local coffee shop years ago and until then I had no idea what a perfect pairing ginger and white chocolate could be. The creamy and sweet white chocolate is such a great match for spicy ginger, balancing each other perfectly. 

Gingerbread cookies are usually special to the holiday season, but I don't think the flavour needs to be! It's warm spices, and rich molasses flavour is great for Fall just as much as it is for winter. Plus when it's a single serving recipe, if it's your preferred flavour, I say meal prep this year round for your protein and sweet treat fix.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

It's the perfect quick, one bowl treat. 

It's rich in ginger and molasses flavours, while boosting your daily protein.

I love white chocolate, but you can switch to dark if preferred! 

It's gluten free, dairy free, and plant-based. 

A healthy on the go breakfast or snack.

What You'll Need

Oat flour, or blended oats. I prefer blending sprouted oats for maximum nutrition, but any oat will do.

Good quality vanilla protein powder. I like Vedge Nutrition because it bakes really well! Plus it's organic, non-GMO, and third party tested. You can shop their proteins using my discount code: EVANNRYAN.

Spices like ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. If you don't have a well stocked spice cabinet you can also purchase pumpkin spice mix, which has these spices already mixed together!

Black strap molasses. Molasses is the sweetener in these, and it's also the rich and dark colouring these get. Molasses is essential for a good ginger cookie. 

Plain vegan yogurt. I like coconut yogurt, but you can use whichever plain yogurt you prefer. 

 

Substitutions

I haven't tried it, but I imagine you could use a gluten free all purpose or regular all purpose flour in place of oat flour. 

In place of vanilla protein you could try the Cinnamon Roll Protein from Vedge! It would add a really nice flavour here too. (Shop protein using the discount code linked above!)

In place of almond milk you can use any preferred dairy free milk.

Add some additional mix-ins like dried cranberries or walnuts!
