Ingredients
Almond Butter Protein Cookies
- 1/2 cup (160g) natural creamy almond butter
- 2 scoops (67g) Musclepharm vanilla combat protein powder
- 1/2 cup (56g) coconut flour
- 1/4 cup (30g) whole wheat flour
- 3 tbsp. (21g) stevia/sugar baking blend (more if you like the cookie sweeter)
- 1 large whole egg
- 1/2 cup natural applesauce
- 1/8 tsp. baking powder
Chocolate Cream Filling
- 1/2 cup (113g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 scoop (32g) Musclepharm chocolate casein protein powder
- 1 tbsp. (5g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated stevia/erythritol
- 2–3 tbsp. of milk or water to get the right cream consistency
Instructions
- Add almond butter, egg, stevia/sugar blend, and applesauce to a medium bowl. Mix with a fork until well combined. In a separate bowl combine protein powder, coconut flour, whole wheat flour, and baking powder. Mix dry ingredients. Combine wet and dry ingredients and mix together to form a thick cookie batter. You will have to use quite a bit of muscle because the batter is really thick.
- Turn oven on and preheat to 350F while batter is chilling. Chill batter in fridge uncovered for 20-30 minutes. Once chilled, spoon cookie dough onto a prepared cookie sheet to make 24 balls about 1 tbsp. each. Gently press each cookie dough ball down to flatten slightly and shape into a circle. Bake for 7-8 minutes.
- Mix Greek yogurt, casein protein, cocoa powder, and stevia. Add water or milk and mix until a smooth creamy consistency. Once cookies are cooked and cooled, place about 1 tbsp. of filling onto the bottom of 12 cookies. Add the other 12 cookies to each of the cookies with cream to make 12 sandwich cookies. Enjoy!
Notes
Store cookies in refrigerator. They should not be left out because the filling is Greek yogurt and will turn bad if not refrigerated.
