High-Protein, High-Fiber, Low Sugar, Chewy & Delicious

Recipe

Ingredients

• ½ cup vanilla protein powder ( Quest is a good low sugar option)
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Powdered ginger
• 1 tsp maca powder
• ¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes, finely chopped or blended (¾ when flakes)
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp almond butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• ½ tbsp unsweetened almond milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix protein powder, cinnamon, maca powder, coconut flakes, ground flax, chia seeds, baking powder.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry, add 1-2 tbsp almond milk to reach a soft dough consistency.
5. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough per cookie onto the baking sheet and flatten slightly with a spoon.
6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden on the edges.
7. Let cool for a few minutes before enjoying.

Maca powder supposedly chills you out which I need. But I’m mainly into this because of the high fiber, high protein aspect. If you have a husband like mine, he will make fun of you – be warned; these look and feel a bit like hockey pucks. But they are surprisingly satisfying and chewy for a health cookie. And more protein than carbs, so they fit the plan.
