Ingredients
2 c. uncooked quick oats (NOT instant)
3-6 scoops unflavored whey protein powder, enough to add 60g protein
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
3 oz. melted dark chocolate
1/2 c. unsweetened applesauce
1/4 t. stevia powder
2 T. wild honey
1 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 8 minutes, then allow them to cool on a towel or a cooling rack. They will harden and become chewy as they cool.
Makes 40 cookies using a 1 T. disher.
Notes: Version 6
Untested. Swapped almond flour out for more protein powder, so now the 40 cookies make ten 4-cookie servings with 10g protein per serving.
