Ingredients:

• ¼ cup of vanilla flavored protein powder
• 3 tbsps. of cacao powder
• ¼ tsp of liquid stevia
• 1 tbsp. of coconut oil
• 3 ½ tbsps. of almond butter

Filling:

• 3 tbsps. coconut butter
• Few drops of stevia (flavor of your choice)

Instructions:

Step #1:  In a large bowl, place protein powder and cacao powder and mix

Step #2:  Add in your sweetener. I used liquid stevia, but if you wanted to use another sweetener like maple syrup or honey, you can adjust your wet ingredients, either by omitting the coconut oil or reducing the almond butter, or both.

Step #3:  Next add in your coconut oil and almond butter.

Step #4:  Mix together until batter forms. Add more protein powder if too runny, and more coconut oil or maple syrup if too dry.

Step #5:  Either place batter in a mini muffin tin lined with parchment paper to form cookie shape or form by hand by place drops of batter on parchment paper and pressing down by hand to form the size of cookie you would like

Step #6:  Set in fridge or freezer to harden

Step #7:  Make filling my mixing coconut butter with sweetener of choice in bowl- a few drops of stevia OR 1 tablespoon maple syrup.

Step #8:  Place filling on cookies and top with cookie.

Step #9:  Enjoy! Keep in refrigerator.
