Protein Breakfast Cookies - Fit Men Cook

Ingredients

• 2 cups uncooked old fashion oats (NOT instant)
• I recommend a flavored protein because it is usually lightly sweetened so you do not need to add copious amounts of sugar/honey to the recipe
• Substitute: oat flour; sorghum flour; fine almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 eggs
• 4oz (123g) unsweetened applesauce
• Sub: peanut butter; cashew butter
• 2 tablespoons raw honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract **
• 1/4 dried cherries (or your choice of naturally dried fruit)**
• 3 tablespoons dark chocolate (sweetened by Stevia not sugar – in order to keep sugar calories lower)**
