Carrot Cake Protein Rounds

Ingredients

1 cup quick oats

2 scoops of unflavoured whey isolate

¾ cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ cup maple syrup

1/3 cup coconut oil, melted

2 large eggs

¼ cup walnuts, roughly chopped

¼ cup dried cranberries

Directions


  1. Preheat the oven to 375F. In a large bowl combine the oats, whey isolate, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg.

  2. Whisk together the coconut oil, maple syrup, and eggs in a small bowl.

  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Do not overmix. Fold in the walnuts and cranberries.

  4. Drop golf ball-sized balls of batter on a lined baking tray and flatten slightly. Bake for 9-11 minutes, until starting to set but still soft in the middle. If you cook them too long, they will become extremely dry due to the protein powder.
