Chocolate Protein Nuggets - Low Sugar

• 1 12 cups whole wheat pastry flour
• 1 cup quick oats
• 12 cup ground flax seeds
• 3 scoops vanilla protein powder (I use whey based)
• 13 cup cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 12 teaspoon baking soda
• 12 teaspoon salt
• 14 cup applesauce (or unsweetened apple butter)
• 14 cup plain yogurt
• 14 cup vegetable oil
• 14 cup sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 12 tablespoons stevia plus (or 3/4 cup sugar equivalent of your brand)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (optional, I like a lot of vanilla)
• 12 cup mini chocolate chip

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine first 8 ingredients in a medium bowl using a wire whisk.
3. Whisk together rest of ingredients, except chocolate chips, in a large bowl using a whisk.
4. Whisk until sugar is dissolved.
5. Add dry to wet in thirds combining with a sturdy mixing spoon after each addition.
6. Mix in chocolate chips.
7. Will be very stiff!
8. Lightly spray a cooking sheet with non-stick spray.
9. Drop balls the size of a large walnut spacing 1-2 inches apart.
10. Flatten slightly as the cookies will not spread much.
11. Bake for 10 minutes.
12. Remove to cooling rack.
13. Cool completely.
14. Note: My protein powder is sweetened with sucralose.
15. I don't know how much sweetness it contributes or if you will need to adjust the recipe for unsweetened protein powder.
