It has been a long day..
As such, after arriving home from a 12 hour stint at school the thought of perfecting my research presentation for tomorrow was baked in the oven next to a healthy “cookie” experiment that had been on my brain all day. Apple cookies and taper talk.. how did I get anything done today!?
Baked Apple Breakfast Cookies
The start of plenty more edible taper tantrums to come!
Adapted from this recipe
Ingredients:
1 mashed banana
1 chopped apple
1 tbs coconut oil
1/2 tbs vanilla
1/2 c oats
1/3 c wheat bran
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbs flax
2 tbs chia
1 scoop Vanilla Sun Warrior (or other protein powder)
1 tbs cinnamon
splash of almond milk and scoop of plain Greek yog
Melt coconut oil in a bowl, mash in banana, apple and vanilla
Add all dry ingredients.. mix well
I then added a splash of almond milk and a scoop of Greek yogurt for consistency – apple sauce would’ve been money here!
Spoon into balls and bake at 350 degrees for 10 mins
Who said “cookies” need sugar, eggs, butter or syrup!?
ENJOY!
I’m off to sleep.. I have a hot date with Yasso and the West Park track tomorrow.. last one!
