Calling all pumpkin spice lovers! Our recipe for Pumpkin Oat Protein Cookies is the perfect fall cookies and each cookie has 6g protein. 1st Phorm released a Pumpkin Spice latte protein that I thought was the perfect addition to this recipe.
To give the cookies a fluffy, soft, cake like consistency, we use pumpkin puree, applesauce, and Greek yogurt to add moisture to the dough. We also use whey protein, instead of others, as using whey is the best protein to use to give your baked goods a fluffy, cake-like texture.
