Ingredients
- 1 + ⅓ scoop vanilla or cinnamon protein powder (40g) I used PEScience Snickerdoodle
- 2 tsp all-purpose, GF or cake flour (5g)
- 2 tsp coconut flour (5g)
- 2 packets Splenda or sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 small banana (100g) or canned pumpkin
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp light butter (18g)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (30g) or milk of choice
- 3 tbsp egg whites (46g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl, add the wet ingredients and combine until ingredients are mixed thoroughly. Add the dry ingredients to wet ingredients and continue mixing until everything is combined.
- Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and scoop small spoonfuls onto the pan to make 12 cookies.
- Bake for 7-10 minutes, being careful not to over-bake. They should look just about done when you take them out.
- Once done, remove cookies from pan with a spatula and place on a cooling rack to prevent the cookies from baking longer.
- While still warm, VERY lightly, spray each cookie with cooking spray and then lightly sprinkle some cinnamon and sweetener (add real sugar or coconut sugar if you really want that authentic flavor and taste).
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
These cookies will stay fresh in the freezer for 3 months. Make sure to store in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag and remove as much air as possible. To defrost, place cookies in fridge overnight or heat up for 8-10 seconds in the microwave.
