Protein cookies are a sweet, delicious and rather fun way of packing plenty of protein into a snack-sized bite and can help you when you are trying to lose your pregnancy weight.
Protein cookies are a great healthy eating snack or a great energy boost before or after some exercise. Enjoy them with a cup of tea for a tasty and filling snack.
Chocolate & Raisin Protein Cookies
These easy protein cookies are packed with plenty of protein from the egg whites and the oats. Applesauce keeps them sweet whilst the cocoa powder gives them a chocolatey flavour. The applesauce sweetens the cookies without adding many calories, and it also helps to keep these cookies very, very low in fat.
Ingredients
- 6 x large egg whites
- 140g rolled oats
- 1 tbsp. agave nectar or honey
- 1 tbsp. cocoa powder
- 120g unsweetened applesauce
- 3 x scoops chocolate healthy mummy mix
- 1 tsp. virgin oil
- 50g raisins
Method
- Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl. Add the honey, applesauce and virgin oil and whisk to combine. Stir in the oats, cocoa powder and whey powder. Fold in the raisins.
- Drop the mixture by the tablespoonful onto a lined baking tray. Flatten them slightly using a fork so they are about the circumference of a coffee mug.
- Bake the cookies in a 170C oven for 8-10 minutes until lightly shiny on the outside. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.
