Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup desiccated coconut
- 0.5 cup whey protein powder
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon boiling water
- 0.33 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup chopped almonds
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, whey protein powder, and almond flour. Stir until evenly mixed.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and golden syrup together, stirring continuously until they are well combined.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water.
Step 5
Add the dissolved baking soda mixture to the butter and golden syrup. Be careful as it might bubble up.
Step 6
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients, and mix until you have a consistent dough.
Step 7
Fold in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, and chopped almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 8
Using your hands, take small portions of the dough and shape them into balls approximately 1 inch in diameter. Flatten each ball slightly and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
