Double Chocolate High-Protein Breakfast Cookies

Adapted from Chocolate Chunk High-Protein Breakfast Cookies and Double Chocolate Protein Breakfast Cookies

Ingredients
2 c. uncooked quick 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. melted dark chocolate
1/2 c. pumpkin puree
1-2 t. stevia powder
1 T. wild honey
1/2 t. vanilla extract
few drops orange extract
2 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 12 minutes, then allow them to cool on a towel or a cooling rack. They will harden and become chewy as they cool. 

Notes: Version 2
Too hard; more like bars.  Fairly chocolatey.  Can still taste the pumpkin and the stevia.
