Chewy Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies (the sneaky healthy way)


These beauties were gobbled up as quickly as they were made! While they still contain the fundamentals of a good cookie, I was able to make a few substitutions to add some protein and omega 3s!

The recipe:

1 c butter softened
1 c packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 c brown rice flour 
2 scoops vanilla whey protein powder
1/4 c flax seeds
1/4 c chia seeds
1/2 tsp baking powder 
1 tsp salt
3 c quick cooking oats
1 c mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs and continue to mix. In a separate bowl combine all dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and then add the chocolate chips.

Using a tablespoon measuring spoon, spoon batter onto a cookie sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until bottoms are light brown in color.

Cookies will be extremely soft so be careful when transferring onto a cooling rack!

Enjoy!
