Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (90g) whole wheat flour
  • 2 scoops (66g) MusclePharm cinnamon bun combat powder
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp. granulated stevia or erythritol
  • 1/4 cup (15g) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tbsp. (10g) corn starch
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 cup (56g) coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup (56g) natural applesauce
  • 1 extra large egg (room temperature)*
  • 3 tbsp. (36g) coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp. coconut extract
  • 2 tbsp. Sweet Spreads vanilla cupcake coconut butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Mix flour, protein powder, stevia, shredded coconut, corn starch, cinnamon and baking powder in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, add coconut oil and applesauce. Heat in microwave for about 30 seconds or until coconut oil is melted. Add coconut sugar, egg, and coconut extract. Mix well until smooth.
  3. Add wet ingredients to dry. Gently fold together until a thick batter forms. Let chill in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.
  4. Spray a cookie sheet with coking spray. Scoop out cookie dough in about 2 inch balls and place evenly on cookie sheet. Should make 12 cookies.
  5. Bake for about 5 minutes. Cookies may seem like they aren’t cooked enough but they will continue to cook out of the oven and harden as they cool. If you cook much longer, they will get really dry.
  6. Let cookies cool and then drizzle with vanilla cupcake coconut butter if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

* Make sure egg is at room temperature. If it is too cold it will harden the coconut oil and will not mix well. Also make sure you do not heat the coconut oil to long to melt it otherwise it will start to cook the egg when you add it in.
