With these nutritious hazelnut cookies, forget about starving. Since I have discovered them they are my favorite snack, especially in the middle of the afternoon with an infusion.

They have a delicious aroma of hazelnuts and chocolate but when you take a piece you discover notes of banana that you did not expect and that make them a really tasty cookies.

These nutritious cookies are special, not only because of their taste, but also because they are simple to do and in a few minutes you will have them done, without downtime or complications.

Ingredients

  • 230 g of hazelnuts
  • 90g dark chocolate chips
  • 30 g coconut oil
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 100 g whole sugar
  • 40g protein powder
  • 10 g cocoa powder
  • 1 tablespoon (dessert size) vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch of salt

Preparation

  1. We preheat the oven to 180º and line a tray with baking paper.

  2. We crush the hazelnuts with the chocolate chips during 10 seconds, speed 10 to a consistency like sand.

  3. Add the peeled and chopped banana, the coconut oil, the vanilla extract and the pinch of salt. We crush during 10 seconds, speed 5.

  4. Now it is the turn to add the sugar, protein and cocoa. We mix again during 10 seconds, speed 5.

  5. We lower the dough with the help of the spatula. If we see that the ingredients are not well integrated we can mix another 10 seconds, speed 5.

  6. We make balls of the desired size and put them on the tray that we have prepared. To make this recipe I have used a medium size ice cream scoop and 15 units have come out. Although you can make them smaller and you will have more units.

  7. We flatten them lightly with the back of a spoon or with the palm of the hand.

  8. We introduce in the medium height of the oven and cook between 10 or 12 minutes or until the edges begin to take a toasted color.

  9. We remove the tray and let the cookies cool. Remember that if you handle them while they are hot they will break. Let them cool completely.

  10. Once cold, we can decorate them with chocolate threads and pieces of hazelnuts.

Do you want to know more about these nutritious hazelnut cookies?

With this crazy life that we lead sometimes we forget that our body needs good nutrients to function. So I try not to skip any of the meals and even less the lunch or the snack. I usually carry a homemade cookie or a small snack in my bag to take it and be able to continue with day-to-day activities.

I have verified that in addition to giving me energy helps me not to get passed out from hunger to lunch or dinner. This way I can better organize my diet and avoid bingeing on the first thing I find in the pantry.

As I said before, another good thing about these nutritious hazelnut cookies is that they are very easy to make. You just have to make the dough, shape them and they are ready to put in the oven. They have no downtime, or any other complication.

Precisely because of their simplicity they are ideal for do with the little ones in the house. They will love to shape and crush their own cookies.

To make this recipe you will see that I have used protein powder. I like to use it in recipes or Smoothies and this way I make sure that I am taking the necessary protein.

You can use the one of the flavor that you like the most, whether it is from vainilla like chocolate.

The only recommendation is that you look closely at the label. Especially if you have some kind of intolerance such as lactose, gluten, egg or you are on a vegan diet. This way you make sure that it is suitable for you.

And if you want to do without the protein powder, you just have to add a few more grams of hazelnuts and that's it.

To make the cookies I usually use a scoop or ice cream scoop that has a medium size. With her they come out 15 units but you can use any other utensil that helps you make all cookies have the same weight.

Once cold you can Keep in an airtight container and take out as you need them. They hold up well for 7 days. From there, they don't get bad, but they do feel a bit drier.

      Hello Pilar:
      Coconut oil does not have the same texture as olive oil, so it is not so easy to substitute it.
      I have not tried making these cookies with another oil, but if I had to, I would use less. I would start with 15 g and if I see that the mixture is very dry I would add another little but just enough and without overdoing it.
      I know the answer is not very specific but I hope it helps you.
      If you do the test with olive oil, leave us a comment with your experience, okay? 😉
