For many of us, the lead up to Christmas means overindulgence, especially when it comes to baking.
We’ve asked our Ambassador Sophie Danvers to share her Cinnamon Protein Cookies recipe. These delicious bakes are vegan-friendly, gluten free and full of protein, helping you to focus on your goals throughout the festive season.
Protein is an essential nutrient which plays a part in the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. (1) This recipe uses Myvitamins Soy Protein Isolate, a low calorie, dairy-free way to supplement your natural protein levels.
Cinnamon Protein Cookies Recipe
What You Need
- 50g vegan Butter (melted)
- 150g caster sugar
- 100g gluten free plain white flour
- 1tsp vanilla essence
- 25ml plant-based milk
- 25g Myvitamins Soy Protein Isolate (Vanilla flavour)
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tsp sweet cinnamon
- Extra light brown sugar and cinnamon for topping (optional but recommended)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/ 180 degrees C.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the butter and sugar together until creamy and smooth.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well, ensuring there are no lumps in the batter.
- Use a heaped teaspoon to roll the mixture into balls. This mix makes around 8 cookies.
- Place the balls onto the baking tray and press down with your hands or a folk. Sift more sweet cinnamon over the top of the cookies and add the light brown sugar before going in the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- These are best served with a hot chocolate. I use Myvitamins Beauty Hot Chocolate Stick Packs.
