Notes
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- ½ cup oat flour*
- ¼ cup vanilla plant protein powder
- ¼ cup ground flax**
- 1 tbsp matcha green tea powder
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ½ cup cashew butter (or almond, I don't suggest peanut)
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, vanilla protein powder, ground flax, matcha, and salt.
- Add the cashew butter, maple syrup, and water. Using your hands, mix thoroughly until the dough comes together. It should hold its shape easily and feel cohesive rather than crumbly. If the mixture seems dry, add a little more water as needed. Roll into balls and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
- To make oat flour at home, blend old-fashioned oats in a blender or Nutribullet until finely ground.
- If you don’t have ground flax or protein powder, substitute with additional almond flour. Since vanilla protein powder adds sweetness, you may need to increase the maple syrup to taste. If omitting the protein powder, add ½ tsp vanilla extract.
- If you don’t have matcha, leave it out and stir in mini chocolate chips for a classic cookie dough variation.
