Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup desiccated coconut
- 0.5 cup whey protein powder
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon boiling water
- 0.33 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup chopped almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, whey protein powder, and almond flour. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and golden syrup together, stirring continuously until they are well combined.
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water.
Add the dissolved baking soda mixture to the butter and golden syrup. Be careful as it might bubble up.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, and mix until you have a consistent dough.
Fold in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and chopped almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using your hands, take small portions of the dough and shape them into balls approximately 1 inch in diameter. Flatten each ball slightly and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
