Here is a tasty and easy way of eating a healthy treat without the gilt. Is also gluten-free and can be nut-free if you remove the almonds. Adapt it to your needs. I truly enjoy creating this recipe. Is also kid-approved, even your picky eaters would love them.

For me is important to only post a recipe until I know for sure, they are tasty and ready for you. If I won’t eat it, I won’t post it!

 My wish with my recipes is that your day if filled with not only food, but also with love and laughter. 

Much love always!

Instructions

Notes

Other Options for  toppings: If prefer raisins, walnuts and pistachios are others that bake well with this recipe.
Important:  if the mixture is too thick add 1-2 tbsp of water at a time until is soft like cookie dough.
*If the dough is too watery add more protein slowly until you get the cookie dough consistency. 
It's good to know that the reason for the dough to have different consistencies is due to type of protein being use for the recipe. Each protein is different, therefore it might need more water, none, or more protein.
How to store: Cool completely and store in a airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 2-months or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Reheat for 10-15 seconds in microwave.
