- ½ cup Puori vanilla whey protein powder (50-60 g)*
- 1 cup creamy almond butter or peanut butter (drizzly consistency)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 medium-large ripe banana, mashed (½ cup) or ½ cup applesauce
- ⅓ cup plain 2% or whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup flaked or shredded coconut
- ½ cup chopped raw or roasted cashews
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (optional)
For The Icing Drizzle (Optional):
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon water or milk of choice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Dash of ground cinnamon or nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, protein powder, almond butter, maple syrup, eggs, mashed banana, yogurt, and all of the spices (ginger through cloves). Mix until well combined.
- Add the shredded coconut and cashews. Add the flaxseed (if using). Mix to incorporate. Batter will be wet and heavy.
- Scoop the dough into 10 mounds, using about ¼ cup dough for each. Place 5 mounds on each of the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently shape and press each cookie into a round disc that is about 2- to 2 ½-inches wide and ½-inch thick.
- Bake one sheet at a time on the middle rack for 10 minutes. The cookies may look wet but should be firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
- If desired, drizzle with icing. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle lightly over the cooled cookies. Garnish with a light dash of nutmeg or cinnamon.
