Gluten Free Double Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
Ingredients:
1-3/4 cups gluten-free oats (I like Bob's Red Mill brand the best) 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (I used Syntha-6 Vanilla Ice Cream) 1/4 cup coconut flour 2 tablespoons cocoa 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup mashed banana (approximately 3 small) 1 egg 1 tablespoon coconut oil (I get coconut oil super cheap on Amazon) 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (or four squares dark chocolate bar, chopped)
Directions:
1 - Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2 - Using blender, grind 3/4 cup of the oats into flour. Combine with remaining 1 cup oats, protein powder, coconut flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder in a mixing bowl.
3 - Using blender, puree bananas. Add egg, coconut oil and vanilla to blender and pulse until mixed. (If the coconut oil is solid, warm for a few seconds until it is liquid.)
4 - Stir banana mixture into dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate pieces.
5 - Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to scoop dough onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Slightly flatten cookies since they will not spread.
6 - Bake 10-14 minutes or until set and slightly golden on bottom.
That's it. Super simple breakfast cookies. (They also are totally amazing as a snack or healthy dessert.)
