Macros per cookie:
248 cals - 4g fat - 38g carbs - 15g protein
Ingredients:
1 apple, chopped into small pieces
1 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 servings vanilla protein (50g)
1 cup sprouted oats, blended into a flour
1/3 cup plain coconut yogurt
2-4 tbsp almond milk or preferred dairy free milk
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
Recipe:
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper, set aside.
Finely chop the apple and add to a non-stick pan with cinnamon, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt.
Cook on medium low heat until apples are caramelized, 6-8 minutes.
Remove from heat and pour onto a plate to cool quickly.
To a mixing bowl add: vanilla protein powder, oat flour, coconut yogurt, 2 tbsp almond milk, baking soda, and salt. Mix together forming a dough.
If the dough is too dry add 1-2 tbsp more almond milk. If it's too wet set the cookie dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to firm.
Fold the cooled cinnamon apple pieces into the cookie dough.
Form 4 large, sticky cookies, and add them to the prepared baking tray.
You don't need to press the cookies flat, leave them as big mounds.
Bake for 14-18 minutes or until cooked all the way through and browned on the bottoms.
Drizzle with a little maple syrup if desired.
Enjoy!
