Apple Pie Breakfast Cookie
This easy apple pie breakfast cookie is the perfect fall breakfast! It's ready in 10 minutes, is packed with fibre & protein AND it tastes just like your favourite dessert.
Servings: 1 cookie
Ingredients
- ½ cup oats quick, minute or rolled all work
- 2 tablespoon vanilla protein powder see notes* for substitutions
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil softened
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- ½ of a medium apple diced
Toppings (optional)
- plain Greek yogurt
- vegan "caramel sauce"
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 360°F (see oven instructions in text above).
- In a small bowl, combine all ingredients (except apples) and mix until a dough begins to form. Add in your diced apples and stir again (you may need to use your hands).
- Roll your dough into a ball and gently press down and shape to form a circle (cookie should be about ¾ inch thick). Place your cookie in the basket of your air fryer (I recommend using an air fryer liner or a small piece of parchment paper under the cookie to avoid sticking). Air fry for abut 10 minutes **see note below.
- Once your cookie is done, top with yogurt (or even icecream), drizzle with peanut butter and enjoy!
Notes
* To replace protein powder simply add 2 additional tablespoons of oats and a teaspoon more maple syrup to account for the lost flavour!
**As all air fryers heat and cook differently I recommend beginning to watch your cookie at about 8 minutes to avoid burning!
