Ingredients

1 cup Blanched almond flour
½ cup Protein powder vanilla or flavorless
1 cup Almond butter creamy and smooth
¼ cup Maple syrup
¼ cup Unsweetened Applesauce
½ cup Chocolate chips (Vegan or regular) optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Add the ingredients to a large bowl and mix until fully incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips or any optional add-ins.
Roll the dough into ten equally sized balls. Place the balls on the cookie sheet and gently press them flat using the back of a spatula.
Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!

Notes

Protein Powder: I use Orgain Organic Unflavored Vegan Protein Powder. It is naturally unsweetened, gluten-free, no sugar added, soy-free, and non-GMO. Use your favorite protein powder.
Blanched Almond Flour: Make sure to use almond flour, not almond meal. I like to use Blue Diamond Almond Flour.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftover cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week. Place it in the refrigerator for up to 14 days. To freeze, place cookies in a freezer-safe plastic bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months.
