Protein Scones

Get creative with these and add whatever you like - unsweetened cocoa powder, coconut shavings, dried cranberries, walnuts, etc. I added 1/4 cup of raisins and a 1/2 Tablespoon of cinnamon, but any add-ins that you like will work. Dried fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, whatever. Add something though, or these will be really boring.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plus 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder, or chocolate, or whatever. I used Vanilla Metabolic Drive
  • 1/4 cup oats
  • 1 Tbsp of Stevia
  • 4 egg whites
  • 2 Tablespoons 0% fat Greek Yogurt, or pumpkin puree Your choice. I used pumpkin. Unsweetened applesauce will also work.
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 Tablespoon cinnamon

Mix all of the dry ingredients together first. Then, add the wet ingredients.

Drop 9 spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet sprayed with non-stick spray or smeared with coconut oil, and slightly spread them out just a bit.

Bake until the peaks barely start to turn golden, about 12 minutes.
They should still be slightly soft when you take them out.

WARNING: Watch these closely and don't overbake them, otherwise you will have rock-hard protein doggy biscuits for Fido.

Makes 9 scones.
The following macros are for the basic mix, not including the raisins.
Remember, any add-ins will change these numbers:

Cookie Dough Balls

I got this recipe from Angela Liddon. These are pretty calorically dense, however they are made with whole unprocessed foods, which makes them a great treat once in awhile. These are delicious and taste just like cookie dough. They are so easy to make - your kids will love these, too!

Ingredients

  • 1 TBSP melted coconut oil
  • 1 TBSP honey
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
  • 1/2 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (or any nut butter will work)
  • 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Tiny little splash of cold water if it needs more liquid.

Squish everything together and mold into 10 small balls.

Nutritional Facts per ball:

  • Protein: 4.7 grams
  • Carb: 9.9 grams
  • Fat: 4.7 grams
  • Calories: 117

You can get creative and add dried fruit, shredded coconut, nuts, or whatever you want to these.
