Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Begin by adding the rolled oats to a food processor, pulsing them until they form a coarse flour-like consistency.
Transfer the oat flour into a mixing bowl. Add the vanilla protein powder, ground flaxseed, and salt. Stir to combine these dry ingredients evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil by heating it in 15-second intervals until fully liquid.
Combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until everything is thoroughly combined. The mixture should come together into a sticky, dough-like consistency.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Taste the dough and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding a little more maple syrup if desired.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to handle.
Once chilled, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls or shape into small bars if preferred.
Store the cookie dough bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
