Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup pumpkin puree
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients until they are well mixed.
In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until the wet ingredients are smoothly combined.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly incorporated, forming a thick cookie dough.
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your high protein pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
