SINGLE SERVING MAPLE PECAN KETO COOKIE

/
SINGLE SERVING MAPLE PECAN PROTEIN COOKIE.jpg

Because sometimes all you need is one big cookie — am I right or am I right?!?

Bonus is, my nutritious-and-delicious recipe is low in sugar and packed with fibre, healthy fats, and over 22 grams of plant-based protein.  It’s healthy enough that I’ve even been known to eat one for breakfast!

Note: This recipe is suitable for vegan, gluten-free, paleo, and keto diets. Each cookie contains approximately 22 grams of protein and 400 calories (including the butterscotch chips and diced pecans), or divide into 2 servings with 11 grams of protein and 200 calories each.
