Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1/2- 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce OR 1 small/medium mashed banana
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder of choice I tried a paleo blend, a vegan blend and a casein blend*
- 1-2 tablespoon granulated sweetener of choice**
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour Can sub for gluten free oat flour if not strictly paleo
- Pinch sea salt
- 1-2 Paleo 'nutella' cookie crushed (or chocolate cookies of choice)
- 2 tablespoon nut butter of choice I used almond butter
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup can sub for another sticky sweetener
- Dairy free milk***
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine your applesauce/mashed banana with the protein powder, coconut flour, granulated sweetener of choice and sea salt and mix well.
- In a microwave safe bowl or stovetop, melt your nut butter with maple syrup until combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and pour into the dry mixture and mix well until fully combined. If batter is still too crumbly, using a tablespoon, add dairy free milk until a very firm batter is formed. If batter is too thin, add a dash more flour. Stir through your crushed cookies of choice until fully mixed in.
- Transfer to a bowl and top with extra crushed cookies if desired and enjoy!
Notes
* Protein powder is optional but if you do omit, add an extra tablespoon or two of flour.
** I didn't use any sweetener as my protein powder was sweetened
If you freeze the recipe, it's best to thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
