Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams pitted Medjool dates
- 120 grams almond butter
- 60 grams vanilla protein powder
- 100 grams rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams chopped walnuts
- 50 grams dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, add the pitted dates and blend until they form a sticky paste.
Transfer the date paste into a large mixing bowl and add the almond butter, mixing well until fully combined.
Add the vanilla protein powder, rolled oats, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to the date and almond mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, beat the egg and vanilla extract together. Add this to the cookie dough and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly incorporated through the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to space them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
