Protein Pumpkin Cookies
TGIF Friday November 5, 2010
First, as always, I have to remind you all of my great GIVEAWAY from Harbinger Fitness. Chek it out HERE.
Protein Power Pumpkin Cookies
Just about a year ago, I posted this recipe. I thought with the "season", why not post again. I most likely would add more protein powder & adjust the dry & wet ingredients to accommodate the more protein powder. I also would skip the chocolate chips & MAYBE add some raisins instead, but that is just me. I don't use agave nectar so I may add a bit of 100% maple syrup & see how that goes.
Who doesn't like a cookie that is good for you & has protein and fiber all wrapped up in one cookie!The original recipe is from Megan's Munchies. Here is the original recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup pumpkin
1/4 cup applesauce
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
2 tbsp protein powder of choice
1 tbsp agave nectar
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
2 cups rolled oats
