Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla whey protein powder
  • 1/4 cup stevia/monk fruit/erythritol
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (or nuts/seeds)

Directions
 

  1. Preheat your oven on 375 °F
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
  3. Lightly grease the sheet if you like a crispier bottom.
  4. Take out a large bowl to mix your dry ingredients.
  5. Sift your flour into the large bowl. Then add your remaining dry ingredients together and mix well.
  6. Take out another bowl for your wet ingredients. Add all of the wet ingredients and then mix everything together.
  7. Pour the wet mix into the dry mix. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined.
  8. Gently fold chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or seeds.
  9. Optionally chill the dough for 15-20 minutes
  10. Using a tablespoon or a small ice‑cream scoop, scoop about 1 - 2 tablespoons worth of your mixture onto the pan. Gently press down on it to flatten it a bit.
  11. Bake on 375F for 10‑12 minutes, until the tops are set and just turning light golden at the edges.
  12. Let cookies sit on the sheet for 10 min, then transfer to a cooling wire rack.
