Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
Fruit
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the honey and melted coconut oil into the dry mixture. Then fold in the chopped freeze-dried strawberries evenly throughout the dough.
- Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each dough ball down slightly to flatten for even baking.
- Bake: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden around the edges, indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving to set their texture.
Notes
- Ensure cookies are completely cool before storing to maintain their texture.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
- Freeze-dried strawberries add a concentrated fruity flavor without adding moisture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For crunchier cookies, bake an extra 1-2 minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
