Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 scoop Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 2 tablespoons Matcha powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
In a separate large bowl, whisk unsweetened applesauce, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and the egg until smooth and evenly mixed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form. Be careful not to overmix.
If using, fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spread.
Gently flatten the tops of the cookies with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your high protein matcha cookies as a healthy snack or breakfast on-the-go!
