Ingredients

  • 1/2 C 56g Blanched Almond Flour
  • 2 scoops 62g PEScience Protein Powder, vanilla or cake pop
  • 1/4 C 36g Granulated Sugar Substitute, I used Swerve Granular

  • 1/4 C 60g Unsweetened Apple Sauce
  • 1 Tbsp 12g Rainbow Sprinkles
  • 1/4 tsp Cake Batter Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F and spray a 6.5” cast iron skillet or oven safe pan that’s similar in size with a bit of nonstick cooking spray.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together.

  • Add the cookie dough to the skillet and use a rubber spatula to spread it to the edges and smooth the top.

  • Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the center is set but slightly gooey inside. Don’t over cook—it’s better slightly underdone than overdone. (If you use a larger pan/dish, reduce the cooking time since the cookie will be thinner.)
  • Top with ice cream or low fat whipped cream and dig in.

Notes

  • Each serving has 6 Smart Points and 6 net carbs. 
  • Nutrition facts do not include any nutrition info from the Swerve granular. 
  • If you'd rather use all purpose flour, swap it gram for gram with the almond flour.
  • You can find the skillet, cake batter extract, and other tools and ingredients I use on my Amazon list. 
  • The original recipe with Bowmar Nutrition protein powder used 3 scoops birthday cake protein powder, 1/2 cup light butter, and 3/4 cup almond flour.
