Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, cooked quinoa, protein powder, flaxseed, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The dough will be thick.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Gently flatten the tops slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store these healthy meal prep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
- If you want a sweeter cookie, add 1/4 cup of chopped dried fruit like raisins or cranberries to the dry mix.
- For extra flavor, substitute the vanilla extract with almond extract.
