Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Ube powder
- 60 grams Vanilla protein powder
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 60 milliliters Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 30 grams Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Optional: Chocolate chips (dark, sugar-free)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ube powder, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of almond milk at a time until it reaches a soft, pliable consistency.
If using chocolate chips, fold them into the dough until evenly distributed.
Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly with the palm of your hand.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Be careful not to overbake as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet after removal.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your high protein ube cookies with a cup of tea or as a delicious snack!
