Vegan Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies
Delicious chocolate chip cookies made with almond butter and protein powder
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond butter creamy, salted
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 heaping cup plain applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 packed scoop protein powder I use Four Sigmatic vanilla protein powder
- 1/4- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl combine the almond butter, coconut sugar, applesauce, vanilla extract and stir well until smooth. Set aside.
- 3. In a small mixing bowl combine the packed scoop of protein powder, baking soda and baking powder and stir well.
- 4. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir to combine. Add the chocolate chips and stir.
- 5. Use a 1.5 inch cookie scoop to scoop the cookies into balls. Use two spoons if you don't have a cookie scoop. Shape the cookies into flat balls using your hands. Place them onto the parchment paper lined baking sheet (I can fit them all on one sheet because they don't expand that much when baking).
- 6. Bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees on the top rack. They will still be squishy when you take them out of the oven so let them cool on the baking sheet for at least another 5 minutes.
