Gluten Free Snickerdoodles

I searched everywhere for a healthy Snickerdoodle recipe and decided to come up with my own and the results were too good not to share! Admittedly my cookies came out super big and I made 8 haha, but really this recipe would yield 12 servings. These would be great for a breakfast cookie or as a snack and out of this world when paired with some unsweetened almond vanilla milk :)

Gluten Free Snickerdoodles




Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups Almond flour
  • 1 packet of Vanilla Protein powder (I used Shakeology)
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • a pinch of sea salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup sweetner (I used a half and half blend of maple syrup & honey)
  • 1 egg or 1/4 cup egg whites (I used egg whites)
  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
  • For topping- 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp coconut sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all dry ingredients and wet ingredients in separate bowls and combine. Once all mixed together, spoon out 12 cookies on non-stick cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.  Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Take out of oven and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar topping.

Enjoy!
