• 0.5 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients until they are well mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until the wet ingredients are smoothly combined.

Step 4

Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until thoroughly incorporated, forming a thick cookie dough.

Step 5

Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers remain soft.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your high protein pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage.
