Ingredients
  • 1medium sweet potato(chopped)
  • 1/2cup almond butter
  • 1whole egg
  • 1tbsp honey
  • 1serving Protein Powder(use egg white or whey protein powder)
  • 1dash Cinnamon
  • 1dash Himalayan pink sea salt
  • 1/4tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2cup chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. First thing you need to do is pre-heat the oven to 375F.
  2. In a pot, boil water on the stove.
  3. Before adding the sweet potatoes to the recipe, you need to boil them to soften them up. To speed up the boiling process, chop up the sweet potatoes first.
  4. Add the chopped sweet potatoes to the pot, then boil for 8-10 minutes, until soft. Once the sweet potatoes is soft enough to be easily poked with a fork, it’s finished boiling.
  5. Once the sweet potatoes are ready, remove the water, then add them to a large mixing bowl.
  6. Take a fork and mash the sweet potatoes together. Once the sweet potatoes are mashed up, add in a 1/2 cup of almond butter, one whole egg, then mix it all together.
  7. Once it’s mixed together, add 1 tbsp of honey, then mix the batter again.
  8. Next up, add 1 serving of egg white or whey protein powder to the bowl, along with a dash of cinnamon, a dash of Himalayan pink sea salt, and finally a 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract for flavor. Mix it up one more time.
  9. The last step is to add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter. Give the batter a few gentle stirs to allow the chocolate chips to start melting. This will also help spread out the flavor of the chocolate chips to give each cookie a nice chocolate taste.
  10. To make each chocolate chip protein cookie, add a decent sized tablespoon of the cookie batter mixture to a baking sheet, topped with parchment paper.
  11. After adding 9 cookies to the baking sheet, we still had approximately enough batter left to make another 5 cookies. Depending on the size of your baking sheet, you may need to bake these cookies in batches.
  12. Add the baking sheet to the pre-heated oven at 375F, then set your timer for 10 minutes. However, make sure you keep an eye on the cookies, because they will bake quickly.
  13. After 10 minutes is up, they should be good to go. Remove the cookies from the oven, and let them cool down for a few minutes. Add the remaining cookie batter to the baking sheet, and bake the rest of the cookies the same way.
  14. Once the cookies are cooled down, take a bite to see how they taste.
  15. Yell, “damn that’s good!”.
