Can I use a different type of flour in these cookies?

The recipe specifically calls for gluten-free rice flour, which contributes to the texture and gluten-free nature of these cookies. Substituting it may alter the final consistency.

What if I don't have homemade hemp milk?

While homemade hemp milk is specified for its freshness and simplicity, you could likely substitute with another plant-based milk, though the flavor profile might subtly change.

How can I ensure my cookies are high in protein?

This recipe uses a full cup of vanilla protein powder and three tablespoons of chia powder, which are the primary sources of protein in these cookies, ensuring a high-protein treat.

Do I need to grease the baking sheet?

Yes, the instructions recommend placing the rolled dough balls onto a greased or nonstick baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal after baking.

How should I store these High Protein Vegan Cinnamon Coconut Cookies?

Once cooled, store these cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or refrigerate for extended freshness.

How to Prepare High Protein Vegan Cinnamon Coconut Cookies

Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the rice flour, protein powder, chia powder, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
In a seperate bowl, mash your 2 ripe bananas. Add the hemp milk & sunflower oil and give it a good whisk. Mix in the cinnamon and nutmeg; whisk again.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet, using a wooden spoon to combine the two. Once the cookie dough has formed, add in the coconut flakes. Stir 'em in so the dough is uniform.
Wish your freshly washed hands, roll the dough into balls and place onto a greased or nonstick baking sheet. Use a fork to press down the dough (like peanut butter cookies).
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies just begin to crack.
Remove from the oven, place on a cookie sheet to cool, and enjoy!
