Betsy's Best Caramel Cashew Cookies

Picture
Growing up my family called me Betsy.  Only those closest to me still use my nickname so when I saw this product it caught my eye and made me smile.  Initially I wasn't sure what I was going to use it for but when Betsy contacted me about peanut butter cookies I had made I knew cookies were in order!  The flavor of this nut butter is amazing!  It's slightly sweet, yet salty and the crunch of the chia seeds gives it a perfect texture.

Since I'm all about figuring out ways to sneak protein into food I opted to use PEScience Caramel Macchiato protein from their cafe series.  It's really good whipped into coffee and makes an excellent 1 carb waffle so I knew the caramel/coffee flavor would pair well with the chia/cardamom in Betsy's Best.  If you don't have this particular protein powder, vanilla or peanut butter (like Quest) would also work well.

My favorite part of this recipe was figuring out how to keep the cookies flour free yet soft so you don't even miss the extra carbs!

​Betsy's Best Caramel Cashew Cookies

1/2 cup (128g) Betsy’s Best Cashew Butter w/ Chia
1 scoop (28g) PEScience Caramel Moccicato Protein Powder
2 Tbsp (24g) Truvia baking blend
2 Tbsp (24g) Truvia brown sugar blend
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 large egg

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a medium size mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
  3. Scoop dough into rounded tablespoon (22g batter) on cookie sheet and slightly press down.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are slightly puffed up. Cool 5 minutes before eating.
Makes 13 cookies

Pumpkin Protein Blondies

Picture
BATTER
​56g lite butter

56g unsweet applesauce
1 egg
178g pumpkin purée
56g TRUVIA brown sugar baking blend
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tbsp vanilla extract
53g Kodiak power cakes mix
16g coconut flour
62g Snickerdoodle protein (or protein of choice + 1tbsp cinnamon)
1/2 tsp baking powder

TOPPING (combine in small bowl)
8g Truvia baking blend (white sugar)
1 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Line 8x8 baking pan with foil and spray with cooking oil.

In a medium microwave safe bowl, heat butter and applesauce until butter is melted. Allow to cool a little before mixing in the egg (if it's too warm it will scramble it). Mix pumpkin, vanilla, brown sugar and vanilla into egg mixture. Add Kodiak, coconut, protein and baking powder (if using) and stir until just mixed. Don't over mix as this can make the blondies tough. Spread in pan, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar topping and bake for 25-27 minutes. Allow to cool in pan at least 30 minutes before cutting into 16 squares.
