Healthy High-Protein Samoa Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1 serving vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (I used sugar-free)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Blend oats into oat flour. Add all dry ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
- Add maple syrup and stir until you get a very thick dough. It will seem crumbly and dry at first but it will come together!
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Roll dough into balls and place in tray, flatten out and poke a hole in the middle to give it the Samoa cookie shape.
- Bake for 12-15 mins until lightly golden. Let cool, and drizzle with melted dark chocolate. Enjoy!
