Double Chocolate Gluten-Free Vegan Protein Cookies

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed with water to create a flax egg. Allow it to sit for a few minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, Plant Fusion Chocolate Vegan Protein Powder, baking soda, coconut sugar, dark chocolate chips, and cacao powder.

Step 4

Melt the coconut oil if it's in a solid state. Add the natural peanut butter, vanilla extract, coconut oil, and flax egg to the large bowl.

Step 5

Mix thoroughly until a cookie dough forms. If the dough is too dry, you can add a bit more water, one tablespoon at a time.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave enough space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.

Step 7

Gently flatten each cookie lightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-16 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, indulge in your homemade Protein Cookies. They are perfect for a nutritious snack or post-workout treat!
