Servings 12
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup Blueberry Siggi's Yogurt
- 1/2 Cup banana mashed (about 1 large)
- 1/4 Cup Honey
- 1 Cup dates roughly chopped (140g)
- 1 Large egg white
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 Cup Rolled old fashioned oatmeal (gluten free, if needed)
- 1 Cup Oat flour
- 1/2 tsp Ginger powder
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 Cup Slivered almonds
- 1/4 Cup + 2 Tbsp Pomegranate Seeds
- For the "frosting:"
- 2-3 Tbsp Siggi's Blueberry yogurt
- 2 Tbsp Vanilla protein powder
Instructions
- Preheat you oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the yogurt, banana, honey, dates, egg white and vanilla into a small food processor. Process until the dates have broken down into small pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix together the oats, oat flour, ginger, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and slivered almonds.
- Stir the yogurt mixture into the oat mixture until well combined. Then, gently stir in the pomegranate seeds. Your dough will be quite wet.
- Drop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet by a 1/4 cup. Flatten with a fork.
- Bake until the cookies feel just set, about 12 - 13 minutes. Immediately transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are cooled, stir together the remaining yogurt and protein powder*.
- Swirl onto the cookies (I used a piping bag) and DEVOUR.
Notes
*the amount of yogurt you use will depend on how thick your protein powder is.
Cookies will keep fresh in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, after this they are best frozen.
