Ingredients
2 c. uncooked old-fashioned oats (NOT instant)
2-4 scoops unflavored whey protein powder, enough to add 40g protein
1/4 c. almond flour
2 T. unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. instant espresso powder
sprinkle cayenne
dash salt
1 egg
4 oz. unsweetened applesauce
1/2 c. almond butter
2 T. wild honey
1/2 t. vanilla extract
few drops orange extract
3 oz. finely chopped dark chocolate
Directions
Set oven to 350˚F.
Sift and mix dry ingredients together in a bowl.
Mix wet ingredients together in a separate bowl.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Toss in any dried fruit or dark chocolate and mix together.
Evenly divide the batter using a spoon or ice cream scoop onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or Silpat, then gently mash down on each circle since the cookies will not rise too much in the oven.
Bake for no more than 8 minutes, then allow them to cool on a towel or a cooling rack. They will harden and become chewy as they cool.
Notes: Version 1
Too dry and not chocolatey. Almond butter adds a lot of protein, but is expensive. Switching with melted chocolate. Switching applesauce with pumpkin puree. Adding stevia to sweeten instead of extra sugar.
