Guys……These. Cookies. Were. Good.

….just saying ;]

My friends at Now Foods just came out with a naturally flavored butter coconut oil and although the first thing that came to mind was to use it with some savory — I then thought…butter…..in…cookies = YES.

I am in the middle of cleaning out my pantry and had a big box of Maple Pecan Granola from Trader Joes that I wanted to use up. My Mamacakes has made a granola Powercake before so I thought I would use granola as my main ingredient with cookies!

I used mostly Now Foods ingredients because they have everythanngggg so here is the recipe!

Vanilla Butter Protein Bites

• 1 Cup @NowFoods Gluten Free Baking/Pancake Mix 
• 1/2 Cup @NowFoods Creamy Vanilla Plant Protein Powder 
• 3 Cups Granola Of Choice
• 2 Eggs
• 1/2 cup @NowFoods Sugarless Sugar (or dried sweetner of choice)
• 1/3 Cup Melted  @NowFoods Butter Coconut Oil
• 1/2 Cup Dried Cranberries (optional)
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• Dash of Sea Salt
• 2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1 tsp Turmeric (tons of health benefits!)
• 1 TB Vanilla Extract

How To:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Melt coconut oil in microwave for about 15 seconds.
3. Combine coconut oil + sugarless sugar + eggs and whisk thoroughly.
4. Add all other dry ingredients and USE YOUR HANDS to mix thoroughly.
5. Spray parchment paper on a cookie sheet to prevent extra sticking.
6. Roll a handful of dough into balls and space out on cookie sheet.
7. Bake at 350 for about 12-15 minutes checking to see when they are golden brown.
8. Let cool to firm up and ENJOY!

*If you need more dry ingredients if batter is too wet — just add 1TB at a time of baking mix until it becomes like a dough.

Big shout out to Now Foods for being so amazing and keeping my pantry on point ;] you rock!

I hope you guys try these out and enjoy!

be true to you,
