Also known as 'Power Cookies' because they pack just the right amount of protein. If you're like me, you like to know what's actually in your food. So instead of grabbing a box of processed, prepackaged protein or granola bars... take a few minutes to whip these up instead. They can be frozen and popped in the microwave for 30 seconds to be enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack throughout the day. Take some with you when you travel for an alternative to gas station or airport garbage...
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
2 tablespoons almond paste
1 tablespoon flaxseed oil
10 packets of Truvia
1/4 cup agave nectar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup vanilla whey powder
2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Beat together applesauce, almond paste, flaxseed oil, Truvia, and agave nectar.
Beat in egg and vanilla.
Mix well.
Add flour, baking soda, salt, pepper, and whey powder. Beat thoroughly.
With a wooden spoon, stir in oats, cherries, and almonds.
Mix well.
Spray cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Drop batter by the spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon.
Bake 12 minutes or until slightly brown.
Remove from oven, let cool, and store in airtight container.
I can get 36 cookies out of one batch, but the recipe says 18. I would personally rather eat 2 smaller cookies than 1 big one - but it's your call! :)
Enjoy!
