Apple Pie Protein Breakfast Cookies

When you’re moving away from sugar and ultra-processed foods, it’s easy to think you have to give up the comfort foods you love. But real food can be incredibly satisfying when you combine simple ingredients that nourish your body and calm your cravings.

These Apple Pie Protein Breakfast Cookies are made with just a handful of real food ingredients: a crisp, naturally sweet apple, oats, egg, cinnamon, and vanilla. They are delicious on their own, but my favorite way to enjoy them is crumbled over creamy Greek yogurt for a high-protein breakfast or snack that feels like a treat while giving your body the fuel it needs.

No added sugar. No processed ingredients. Just simple foods coming together to create something satisfying and delicious.

Apple Pie Protein Breakfast Cookies

Ingredients~

1 Cosmic Crisp apple, finely chopped

1 egg

¾ cup oats

Dash of cinnamon

Dash of vanilla

½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions~

Finely chop the apple into small pieces.

Stir in the egg, oats, cinnamon, vanilla, and baking powder until combined.

Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.

Drop the mixture into 12 cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake at 350°F for 20–25 minutes, or until the cookies are set.

Enjoy these cookies on their own or divide them into 3 servings and crumble over 1 ⅛ cups of Fage Nonfat Greek Yogurt for a protein-packed meal with approximately 300 calories and 40 grams of protein.

Optional:  Increase Eggs to 2, as well as adding a 3oz X Small Ripe Banana for a more Cake like texture, and a little extra sweetness.
