Fudgy Cashew-Baobab Protein Cookies

Makes about 7-8 cookies

Gluten Free, Vegan

You will need:

• 3/8 cup MRM Vanilla Bean Veggie Meal Replacement protein
• use code 'casey' at checkout for 40% off ALL MRM products!
• 1 tbsp erythritol (or granulated sweetener of choice)
• 1 tbsp MRM Baobab Powder
• 1/8 tsp baking powder
• pinch salt
• 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 tbsp Crazy Richard's Cashew Butter
• use code 'casey' for 10% off Crazy Richard's products!
• 1/4 cup non-dairy milk of choice

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 350F.
• In a medium bowl, combine the MRM protein, erythritol, baobab, baking powder and salt, then whisk to combine.
• Melt the coconut oil and add it to the bowl with the cashew butter and milk.
• Using a spoon first, begin to mix the batter.
• Once the dry ingredients begin to absorb the liquid, the batter will become thick and quite sticky.
• Wet your hands with warm water and continue to mold the dough with your fingers until everything is incorporated.
• Scoop about 7-8 cookies onto a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet, and flatten each to form a circle.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cookies are browned on the top.
• Let cool COMPLETELY - they'll be soft to the touch when you remove them from the oven but will harden as they cool.
• Store in an airtight container in your fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer life.
