Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Vanilla protein powder
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Diced dried apples
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
Fold in the diced dried apples and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon to your desired thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
