Ingredients
- ½ cup vanilla protein powder 1.5 scoops
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ cup almond butter

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt the coconut oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the protein powder, baking powder, coconut milk powder and chia seeds.
- Once the coconut oil is melted, stir in the oil, almond butter, and maple syrup. Once everything is coated, stir in the remaining ingredients.
- Grease a cookie sheet and using an ice cream scoop, portion out the batter. Press each cookie down into a circle
- Pop in the oven and bake for 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan.
- You can eat them like that and they're moderately crispy. However, popping them into the fridge overnight makes them absolutely perfect.

Notes
- Check out the Gluten-Free Pantry Essentials to stock up on!
- The protein powder you choose will affect the texture of the cookies (see notes in the blog post)
- You can substitute any dried fruit for cranberries. Chocolate chips are a fun addition too. Likewise, peanut butter works in place of almond.
- Each protein powder has a slightly different protein count (in grams) and thus, the protein markup in the nutritional profile might be off by 1-2 grams
- The video of the vegan protein cookies is slightly different than the revised recipe, the batter is not as liquid.
