Yield: Makes 12 large cookies (approximately 7 g of protein, 4.5 g of fibre, and 34 g of carbohydrates per cookie)
INGREDIENTS
500 ml (2 cups) rolled oats
310 ml (1 1/4 cups) date purée
125 ml (1/2 cup) Zenit organic chocolate plant-based protein
80 ml (1/3 cup) textured vegetable protein (TVP)
2 eggs
80 ml (1/3 cup) oil
5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder
125 ml (1/2 cup) mini dark chocolate chips
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, date purée, and Zenit chocolate protein chocolate, TVP, eggs, oil, and baking powder.
Add the dark chocolate chips and mix well until the mixture is uniform.
Using a 60 ml (1/4 cup) measuring spoon, form 12 large balls and place them on the baking sheet. Slightly flatten each cookie using a fork.
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before enjoying.
THE ZENIT TOUCH
Date purée adds natural sweetness and a soft texture, while oats, TVP, and Zenit organic chocolate plant-based protein turn these cookies into a more satisfying snack.
A simple recipe to prepare in advance for busy mornings, lunch boxes, or after an active day.
