Protein Post Workout Cookies

1 Cup    Oat Flour

3 Cups  Rogers Porridge Oats or plain large flake oatmeal which will lower fat a bit

1 tsp.    Baking Soda

1/2 tsp.  Salt (second batch I took out as you don’t need it)

1/2 tsp.  Allspice or pumpkin pie spice

2 tsp.     Cinnamon

1 Cup    Raisins (loosely packed) they are super good with chopped dried apricots which are lower in natural sugars

1 Cup    Whole Pecans (then chop)

2 tsp.     Minced ginger from a jar

4            Egg whites (1/4 cup)

2 cups   Unsweetened Applesauce

1/3 cup Stevia Baking Blend (I use Stevia in the RAW)

1 tbsp.  Lemon rind

2 tsp.    Vanilla extract

3 scoops Phd Pharma Pure Vanilla Protein find it here (http://www.phdnutrition.ca/phdpharma-pure.html)

Preheat oven to 350F

Mix dry ingredients chopped pecans and raisins in one bowl

Mix wet ingredients and slowly add dry. Mix well and scoop using ¼ cup measuring cup and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and using a fork flatten the cookies to approx. 9cm.

Bake for 15-20 minutes

Nutrition per cookie is approximate from SELF DATA (makes 24 cookies)

Calories  115

Fat           5gr

Carbs      22gr

Fiber       3 gr

Protein 7 gr (you can up the protein by reducing Oat flour to ½ cup and adding 3 more scoops of protein) this will increase the protein to 13-14 grams per cookie, however they will be more dense and taste more like biscotti.

Sugar 8gr

Sodium 71 mg (if you omit adding salt sodium will be 25 mg.)

These are sooo good….If you like cookies crunchy reduce heat to 300F and bake for 20-25 min.

If you keep them in the freezer you will not be as tempted to have 2 or 3... :) 

ENJOY!!!
