Fitness Cookies


Healthy fitness cookies packed with nutrients and protein.

Ingredients:
(15 cookies)
310 g apples (GALA)
100 ml water
3 pcs cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar substitute (Stevia)
80 g gf Oats
100 g hazelnuts
100 g cashew nuts
120 g Sotein (soy protein)
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
2 eggs
2 tablespoon coconut oil
A drop of vanilla aroma
100 g of dried cranberries (or any other dried fruit)

Directions:
) Pit 310 g of apples (3-4 apples) and dice into smaller pieces. Pour 100 ml of water into a saucepan. Add the diced apples, 1 tablespoon Stevia, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 3 cloves. Let cook until the apples are nice and soft (about 20 minutes).

) Take the apples of the burner, let cool and take out the 3 cloves. Mix using an immersion blender or standing mixer to create a puree. Add sugar/honey/sugar substitute based on your own preferences here. Don’t forget that the sweetness will be “diluted” after mixing with other ingredients.

) Mix 80 g gluten free Oats, 100 g hazelnuts, 100 g cashew nuts, 120 g Soy protein, 1 teaspoon baking soda and a pinch of salt in a blender until you get almost a flour.

) Preheat your oven to 200 °C (390 °F)

) Move the mixed dry ingredients into another bowl so that you can mix it with the wet ones. Add 2 eggs, melted coconut oil with a drop of vanilla flavour and the dried cranberries (or other dried fruit). Mix thoroughly until you get a nice thick cookie dough. If too dry add a bit of water or milk (or apple puree if any left)

) Using an ice-cream scoop form individual cookies, placing them on a baking trey with a baking sheet on it. Flatten a bit with the scoop or spoon.

) Bake your cookies for about 20 minutes. Let cool and serve as a healthy snack before or after a workout.

Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks:
Sweetness is up to you so if you’re ok with a few more calories go ahead and add some of that sweet sugar/honey/agave or whatever.
You can use whatever dried fruit you want really, gooseberries were just the ones we had around and wanted to use.
You could basically use any sort of protein. We used the soy protein because it’s cheap, gluten free and tastes horrible in a liquid form without any other taste added which makes it a great ingredient  for baking.
