INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk together oat flour, whey protein, casein protein, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg whites, and vanilla until smooth.
Add wet to dry and mix until a thick batter forms. Let rest 5 minutes.
Scoop 10 large portions onto baking sheet. Flatten to 3/4 inch thick.
Bake for 11-12 minutes until edges are set and tops are slightly golden.
Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes. These are dense and will firm up significantly.
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.
