Although Christmas has been over for a few months, almond cookies can still be a good option to have during daytime snacks. In this case, the sweet tooth will be able to taste one of the healthiest and most protean sweets in the shape of a cookie. Perfect to take them to work, to school or to celebrate a birthday. Here we reveal the fitness recipe for these cookies based on nuts.
Cookies with protein powder
One of the biggest surprises of this recipe is its protein powder content. Although it is optional, if you take this supplement, it is a good way to introduce it without the need for shakes. Choose the flavor that you like the most, although vanilla or marzipan are quite good in this recipe.
Ingredients
- 60 ml of egg whites (2 whites)
- 50 gr of natural cashew cream
- 60 gr of ground almonds
- 50 gr of oatmeal
- 20 gr of protein powder or oatmeal
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- Pinch of stevia (optional)
Preparation
In a bowl add the egg whites, cashew cream, cinnamon and stevia (if using it). We move well until there is a homogeneous mass.
When it is well mixed, we introduce the ground almond little by little until it is integrated with the other ingredients.
Next, we add the flour little by little while stirring until a thicker dough is formed. In case you use the protein, introduce it in the same way.
Let the covered dough rest for about 45 minutes or 1 hour in the refrigerator. We preheat the oven to 180 ° C.
We remove the dough from the fridge and spread it on a baking paper with the help of a rolling pin. Then we shape it with a short pastry and remove the leftover.
We place the paper with the cookies on the oven tray and bake for 10 minutes at 180 ° C.
