Soft Pretzel Chocolate Chip Banana Protein Cookies; Paleo, Gluten Free

Guess who’s back, back, back?! Back again.. lol jk.

I’ve got quite the recipe for you lovely ladies and gents! 😉

Introducing… SOFT PRETZEL CHOCOLATE CHIP PROTEIN COOKIES !

 

These are salty and sweet with a hint of banana flavor. They are gluten-free and Paleo! I’ve recently discovered that I do not do well with eggs. So, no more eggs for me 😦 … They were my favorite breakfast food. I ate at least 3-4 a day, maybe that’s why I developed an intolerance!! Too much of anything is not good!

RECIPE:

• 1/4 cup almond flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
• 2 scoops whey protein (I use grass-fed vanilla whey)
• 2 TBSP coarsely ground flax seed (365 Organic)
• 1 TBSP organic sunflower seed butter (Once Again)
• One small banana – about 6-6.5 inches or so
• Mega Chunks by Enjoy Life (or any other soy free, dairy free, gluten free, chocolate chips!)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/8  to 1/4 cup butter
• Sea Salt

 

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
2. Add all ingredients to a large mixing bowl, and mix well!
3. Use an ice cream scooper to scoop out about 10 cookies onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
4. Bake at 350 F for about 25 minutes, or until solid and slightly browned.
5. Melt a little bit of butter in the microwave, and use a culinary brush to brush the top of the cookies with some butter.
6. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
7. ENJOY!

*Store in an airtight container in the fridge!
