Ingredients

• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Whey protein powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0.25 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and egg whites until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. If using, fold in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon to ensure even baking.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy these cookies as a healthy snack or post-workout treat, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
