Ingredients
Scale
1 scoop vanilla or chocolate protein powder
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce or mashed banana
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chocolate chips (sugar-free or dark chocolate recommended)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the protein powder, oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, mix the applesauce (or banana), maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
The texture will firm up as the cookies cool.
You can substitute whey protein with a plant-based option, but you may need to add a tiny splash of water if the dough is too dry.
Jacob prefers using dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
