i'm so glad i found your channel. I've been hooked for a couple of days now. I've made a couple of your recipes already since my appetite is outta proportion due to an upcoming BB show. i aspire to have an awesome, growing channel as yours.

Thanks a lot for a great recipe! Today I tried replacing whey with casein and the results were spectacular. The dough was exactly like regular cookie dough, pliable but not sticky, didn't require freezing. The taste and texture were so good people thought these were just normal cookies. They do need flattening though as making them into balls will produce buns. Also I used maple syrup instead of sugar and pulverized an apple in my food processor instead of using apple sauce. I'm very curious to see what would happen if almond butter us used instead of coconut oil.

Made this recipe yesterday, used a strawberry protein powder, a banana (instead of apple sauce) and some honey (instead of brown sugar). They came out great, not dry or anything but the banana overpowered the taste a bit. Note! If you decide to use a strawberry protein powder then chocolate chips will give it a bitter taste (of course it depends on what kind of choclate chip you ue I use 75% cocoa ones) and when their cooled down a bit they're even better. And definitely 2 thumbs up from me :D

I tried this recipe. It was great!! Can I use flour instead of Oat flour??

[truebusker]

Can I use light butter instead of coconut oil?

[adityasawant]

Hey, I made these only replacing brown sugar with stevia and followed the instructions. They turned out the right shape but soft and squishy, almost like a cake or scone. Only thing I can think of is I refrigerated for 2 hours but the dough still slumped a little bit in the tray.Any way I can fix this to make them more like cookies?

[OwnYourDance]

would it be possible to use sweetener instead of brown sugar?

[akroutines]

can I use melted butter instead of coconut oil?

[jvtraining]

i ate i dunno what to say 😍love with these cookies. i used banana instead of Apple sauce and i can't believe its not butter to cut out of this world!!!! such a great flavor

[MrTway]

if you don't mind me asking, why coconut oil instead of maybe olive oil?

[tenaciousfilm]

Honestly man less is more with this style of editing. Cut back on the sound effects too, but otherwise great recipe.

Good people! How goes it!? Something is brewing and it's not coffee over here. I've taken all of your feedback into consideration and put together something I think you guys will enjoy. Get ready! 2 weeks or less!

Good looking cookies. So I have been making protein versions of all kinds of baked goods for about a year and half now, more so on the lower carb side, but I love it! Glad to see about guy out there cooking with protein powder!

I did this with coconut flour and minus the ground cinnamon and did not put the mix in the fridge. The cookies did not flatten and the middle was still moist, any tips?. The reason I didn’t put the dough in the fridge is because the dough was already hard and did not have the same consistency as the mix In the video. The protein mix I used is isopure whey protein unflavored 100% whey.

I live in Brazil and I love your channel!
I noticed that apple sauce is used in many recipes, but I can't get apple sauce in Brazil 🙁
Is there anything I could use as a substitute?
Thank you and keep up the good work! 💪
