Adapted from Double Chocolate High-Protein Breakfast Cookies
Ingredients
2 c. uncooked quick rolled oats (NOT instant)
2-4 scoops unflavored whey protein powder, enough to add 40g protein
1/4 c. almond flour
4 T. unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. cinnamon
1 t. instant espresso powder
1/16 t. cayenne
1/4 t. salt
1 egg
2 oz. melted dark chocolate (Trader Joe's 72% Pound Plus)
1/2 c. applesauce and/or pumpkin puree
2 T. wild honey
1 t. vanilla extract
few drops orange extract
4 T. skim milk
2 oz. finely chopped dark chocolate (Trader Joe's 72% Pound Plus), or nuts or dried fruit
Directions
Set oven to 350˚F.
Measure oats into a medium bowl. Sift remaining dry ingredients on top of oats and mix together.
Mix wet ingredients together in a separate bowl with an immersion blender, and carefully stream in melted chocolate to blend.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add stir-ins 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 3
Too cakey and still not chocolatey enough. Used half applesauce and half pumpkin puree. Add back a little stevia to increase sweetness. I added milk because the dough seemed to dry. Add less next time. Original recipe didn't call for cocoa powder, and the almond flour doesn't add much protein, so skip that next time. Chop chocolate chunks more roughly and maybe reduce amount of melted chocolate?
