Ingredients

• 50 grams Ube powder
• 60 grams Vanilla protein powder
• 120 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Coconut sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 60 milliliters Almond milk (unsweetened)
• 30 grams Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Optional: Chocolate chips (dark, sugar-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ube powder, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon of almond milk at a time until it reaches a soft, pliable consistency.

Step 5

If using chocolate chips, fold them into the dough until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, flattening them slightly with the palm of your hand.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Be careful not to overbake as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet after removal.

Step 8

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your high protein ube cookies with a cup of tea or as a delicious snack!
