High Fiber + High Protein Bakery Style Cookie

I love those HUGE bakery cookies that everyone posts on Instagram but my body doesn't love the fat, sugar and calories that come with those :( So, I came up with this high-fiber, high-protein cookie that feels like I really had a big treat and hits the spot with much better number. I made this a single-serving recipe, so there is no temptation to eat the whole batch!

I hid some fruit and bran in this cookie, and it clocks in at just under 5 grams of fiber and just over 8 grams of protein with much better numbers (and less guilt) than the bakery cookies!

High Fiber + High Protein Bakery Style Cookie
(makes 1)

Ingredients:
1/4 cup applesauce
1 egg white (1/8 cup)
1/4 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp coconut oil
1 tbsp brown rice flour
1 tbsp bran
1 tbsp PB2
1 tbsp quick oats
1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp xylitol
1/2 tbsp chocolate chips

Directions:
Mix the wet ingredients together and set aside. Mix together all of the dry ingredients, except for the chocolate chips. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes and then scoop mixture into the center of a parchment-lined baking sheet and smooth the dough out with the back of a spoon into a cookie shape. Place the chocolate chips on top and bake at 350 F for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on pan.
