Ingredients
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ⅓ cup creamy nut butter, almond, cashew or peanut
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup Vegan protein powder, see note
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, creamy nut butter, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in all remaining ingredients except chocolate chunks. Stir to combine.
- Fold in chocolate chunks.
- Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to scoop balls of dough onto lined baking pan. My dough made 10 cookies. Place cookies 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 to 10 minutes or until cookies are just set in the middle.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer them to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Depending on the Vegan protein powder used, you may need to add another 1 tablespoon protein powder to the dough. I used ⅓ cup PLUS 1 tablespoon protein powder.
- Use creamy nut butter that is made with only nuts and salt. Any added sugars, oils, or preservatives will alter the texture. Almond butter, cashew butter and peanut butter are all great options.
- For a healthier cookie, feel tree to omit the chocolate chunks. The cookies will be much less sweet.
- These cookies are soft when they first come out of the oven. Handle carefully.
- Store cookies at room temperature for up to 4 days. Store in fridge for up to 7 days.
- These cookies can be frozen and thawed as necessary.
