  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds 

  • 3/4 cup rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup oat flour

  • 1/4 cup Nuzest Clean Lean Just Natural protein powder (or substitute additional rolled oats)

  • 1/4 cup Eaton Hemp hemp hearts

  • 1 tsp baking powder 

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp salt 

  • 1 egg or flax egg (1 Tbsp ground flax and 2 1/2 Tbsp warm water)

  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line two baking sheets with parchment.

  2. If using a flax egg, mix together flax and water and allow to sit for 10 minutes until a gloopy, egg-like consistency is achieved.

  3. Put granola and pumpkin seeds in blender and pulse until coarsely ground.  Pour into a medium bowl and add rolled oats, oat flour, protein powder, hemp seeds, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.  Stir well.

  4. In a separate bowl, mix together egg (or flax egg), tahini, maple syrup, coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla. Stir until smooth.

  5. Add wet to dry ingredients and mix until well-incorporated.  Fold in chocolate chips.

  6. Refrigerate dough for 15 minutes then, using your hands, shape cookies and place on prepared baking sheets.  Bake for 15 to 17 minutes.

  7. Cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes then remove to a wire rack to finish cooling.
