Recipe: Protein Apple Cookies

Anyone who knows me knows I have a MAJOR sweet tooth. I have fun taking not-so-healthy recipes and tinkering around with them until the macros make me happy.

What You'll Need:

• 1 Medium apple

• 4 Scoops vanilla protein (I used Whey)

• 1 Egg

• 1/4 Cup Water

• 3 Tablespoons Coconut flour

• 1/4 Teaspoon baking powder

• 1/4 Teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon (or nutmeg, cardamom, allspice, cloves, etc)

• Splash of vanilla

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.

2. Chop apple. Then pulverize it in a food processor.

3. Add all other ingredients. Blend. Taste.

4. Spoon out 6 large portions onto a (lined or lightly oiled) baking sheet. The consistency will be a little more like super fluffy pancake batter than cookie dough.

5. Bake for 12-15 minutes depending on how undercooked you want the insides to be.
