INSTRUCTIONS

1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Whisk together oat flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

3

In a separate bowl, combine almond butter, maple syrup, and egg until smooth.

4

Add wet to dry and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

5

Scoop 12 portions onto the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until set around edges.

6

Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Cookies will be very soft but will firm up.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My cookies are too dry

Try adding 1-2 tablespoons more liquid (milk, yogurt, or egg whites). Also ensure you're not over-measuring the protein powder - use the scoop and level method.

They didn't rise properly

Check your baking powder is fresh (test by adding to hot water - it should bubble vigorously). Also, don't overmix the batter as this can deflate the air bubbles.

The texture is rubbery

This usually means too much protein powder or overbaking. Reduce baking time by 2-3 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
