I think I've finally done did it: a chocolate chip cookie that's not fat- and sugar-laded that actually tastes good. With good stuff like flax, brown-rice protein and olive oil, this is a guilty-pleasure with only 1/4 of the guilt. And calories:)
Oven at 375 degrees or thereabouts.
1 c. whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
2 Tbsp. brown rice protein powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
Mix the above in separate bowl (we'll call this bowl #1)
In another bowl (yes, bowl #2):
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites (Alternatively, use flax and water to replace an egg: 1 Tbsp flax with 3 Tbsp water. Mix until it gets a bit goopy and then add to this mix)
2 Tbsp EVOO (Or, if you don't like the heavy taste of EVOO, use 1 Tbsp almond oil with 1 Tbsp EVOO)
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix contents of bowl #2 together. Once mixed, add to bowl #1 until it's just moist (love that word).
Then, add 1 1/3 c. oats (can be the quick oats or rolled oats)
Optional:
About a 1/2 c of chocolate chips.
And then a 1/4 c. of chopped walnuts, depending on your tastes and allergies :)
Mix it up, drop in on your cookie sheet in rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart, bake 10-12 minutes until golden brown (will be harder to determine 'golden brown' as they are pretty dark with the ww flour and all), and Voila!
Post your additions, changes; would love to hear!
