Chocolate Walnut Cookies

Very similar to the banana chocolate chip cookies, these cookies are soft, chocolaty, and packed with protein.  Using almond flour as a base, rather than refined wheat flour, these cookies are bursting with post-workout protein and chocolaty decadence!  By swapping out the walnuts for chocolate chips you can make yourself a double chocolate, chocolate chip cookie.  Mmmmmm.


1-2 mashed ripe bananas 
3 tablespoons almond butter 
1 teaspoons vanilla extract 
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 Tbsp cocoa powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon 
Pinch of Salt 
1 cup almond flour 
2 scoops chocolate protein powder
¼ cup chopped walnuts


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  

With a mixer, combine mashed banana, almond butter, vanilla, baking powder cinnamon, and salt. 
In a separate bowl, mix together almond flour, protein powder and cocoa powder.  Add to wet mixture, along with walnuts and stir until all ingredients are combined.  Using a spoon (and greased hands to help the batter not to stick) form into balls, place on cookie sheet and press cookies slightly flat on top.  Bake for 11-14 minutes or until cookies are firm to touch. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.  This recipe makes 9 cookies.

  14. Greetings! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask.

    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog post or
    vice-versa? My site discusses a lot of the same topics as yours and I
    think we could greatly benefit from each other.
    If you might be interested feel free to send me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Superb blog
    by the way!

  15. of course like your website however you need to test the spelling on several of your posts.
    Several of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the reality
    on the other hand I will surely come back again.
