You will need:
- ½ cup ground almonds
- 1 cup oat flour (or 100g oat flakes)
- 1 scoop Sunwarrior Classic Chocolate Protein
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 30g chopped dark chocolate
- a pinch of salt
How to make:
- Start by preheating the oven to 350
- If you don’t have oat flour, you can easily make it by simply blending oat flakes in a food processor or high-speed blender until flour forms.
- In a saucepan, melt the coconut oil and add peanut butter when the pan is still hot. Mix until smooth (this will allow easier forming on the dough).
- Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until dough forms. It should stick together but it shouldn’t stick to your hands. If it’s too wet, add more oat flour. If it’s too dry, add more coconut oil.
- Lay a baking tray with greaseproof paper. Form 10-12 flat round cookies and put them on the tray. Put the tray in the oven and bake for 12-15 min or until golden-brown. Take the tray out of the oven, let the cookies cool and enjoy!
