Protein Cookies (THM crossover)
DRY-
1 cup Old fashioned Oats (ground to a powder in the blender)
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour (if you are Gluten intolerant, replace with an extra half cup of ground oats)
Dash of cinnamon
1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
2 tsp. Stevia Extract powder
1 scoop of chocolate protein powder (I use Genesis Pure Health Trim)
I blend all the dry ingredients together in my Ninja blender and then add it to the bowl of wet ingredients.
WET-
1 egg
2 tsp. natural honey
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 0% plain Greek yogurt
1 TBS. Coconut Oil
1 tsp. Vanilla extract
Add unsweetened Almond Milk until you get a good dough texture.
Spoon onto parchment papered cookie sheet.
Bake at 350* for about 10 minutes.
For those of you on the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle....this is a CROSSOVER. So this is ideal for those who need to gain weight but this is really geared towards kids!
Its a yummy cookie that they will not know is packed with protein, healthy carbs and good fats! My kids devoured these and my incredibly picky 2 year old ate 6 of these. He thinks he's getting cookies for breakfast. I know he's getting WAY more in 1 cookie than most kids get in their diet for a whole day!
These are super easy to make and are really great for tweaking to make them how your kids like them... you can add peanut butter, chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, Flaxseed, Chia seeds, Blueberries, nuts.... get creative! Crumble them over ice cream, take them to-go, eat them for breakfast, as a side for lunch or for dessert after dinner! I hope your kids love these as much as my boys do!
YUM!
looks great! can't wait to try them :-)
