Serves: 20
Ingredients
  • 1 cup old-fashioned or quick oats
  • 1 serving (about 40 grams) vanilla plant-based protein powder*
  • ½ cup almond butter**
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax mixed with 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons milk or maple syrup
  • ½ cup apple butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1-2 teaspoons cinnamon***
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup dried apple
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick silicone baking mat.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together oats, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a smaller bowl, combine the almond butter, flax egg, milk, apple butter, and vanilla extract and stir until smooth.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Fold in dried apples and walnuts.
  5. Scoop cookie dough onto baking sheet. I used small/medium cookie scoop which yielded 20 small cookies. Cookies will not spread so lightly flatten cookies.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees about 12-15 minutes (depending on size of cookies, oven, etc.).
Notes
