Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 scoop Protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 2 tablespoons Matcha powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil, melted
- 1 large Egg

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together almond flour, protein powder, matcha powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, whisk unsweetened applesauce, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, melted coconut oil, and the egg until smooth and evenly mixed.
Step 4
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
If using, fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spread.
Step 7
Gently flatten the tops of the cookies with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your high protein matcha cookies as a healthy snack or breakfast on-the-go!
