Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Whey protein powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and egg whites until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these cookies as a healthy snack or post-workout treat, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
