Equipment
- Stove
Ingredients
- 1 cup ground almonds I ground mine in my food processor
- ½ cup ground sunflower seeds I ground mine in my food processor
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 1 package Crispy Green Apples broken into small pieces, I did not grind these up but you can if you prefer

Toppings
- 1 kiwi - sliced I used Zespri Golden Kiwi
- Yogurt I used my homemade vanilla yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°
- Prepare muffin tin by spraying with non-stick cooking/baking spray. Set aside.
- Add the ground almonds, ground sunflower seeds, cinnamon (and maple syrup or honey if desired) and banana into food processor and pulse until thoroughly combined.
- Stir in Crispy Green Apple pieces.
- Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of the cookie "batter" and press into prepared muffin cups. You want to fill each cup about 1/3 to 1/2 way. I was able to use 8 of the muffin cups.

- Allow to cool.
- When ready to serve top with a scoop of your favorite yogurt, I used my homemade vanilla yogurt and a slice of kiwi.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Feel free to experiment topping these yummy protein cookies with other fruits.
If packing for a lunch, I recommend putting the yogurt and kiwi slices on the side.
I did not add in the ample syrup or honey when I made these yummy protein cookies, but if you think you will need an extra dose of sweetness, feel free!
