High-protein apple and cinnamon cookies with oats and quark
High-protein apple and cinnamon cookies made with oats, low-fat quark and grated apple, with walnuts and raisins. Soft snacks that taste like baked apple: 20 g protein per serving (4 cookies).
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan) and line two baking trays with baking paper. Core the apple, coarsely grate it with the skin on and chop the walnuts.
Mix the low-fat quark, egg and maple syrup. Stir in the oats, almond flour, protein powder, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
Fold in the apple, raisins and walnuts and leave the dough to soak for 10 minutes.
Use a tablespoon to place 24 mounds on the trays and flatten them.
Bake the cookies one tray at a time at 180 °C for 13 to 14 minutes each, until golden brown, then leave them to cool on a wire rack.
