                      Servings: 24                    
                                  
                            Ingredients:
                        
 
                        
                        - 115 grams instant oats (oat flour, gluten-free preferably)
 - 85 grams unflavoured rice protein powder OR micellar casein powder
 - 125 grams Natvia*
 - 2.5 grams (0.5 teaspoon) gluten-free baking powder
 - 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
 - 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
 - 100 grams non-fat thick plain Greek yoghurt
 - 60 grams pasteurised egg whites
 - 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
 - 30 millilitres macadamia nut oil (or melted unsalted butter, or virgin coconut oil)
 - 60 grams dark chocolate chips, 70% - 100% cacao
 
                          Directions:
                        
 
                    
                        
                        - Sift together the oats, rice or casein protein powder, Natvia, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon (or ground wattle seeds and orange zest, if using).
 - Add the Greek yoghurt, egg whites, vanilla, and oil (or butter). Mix together until a soft dough forms.
 - Add the chocolate chips and incorporate evenly.
 - Divide the batter into 24 even pieces, about 22 grams each and roll each into a ball.
 - Pre heat the oven to 175C. Line a baking sheet with silicone baking paper or a silpat sheet.
 - Place the balls of dough on the baking sheet, leaving space between each. Flatten each cookie with a fork.
 - Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Do not overbake. They will soften when stored.
 - Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. They are best the next day.
 
These cookies are a soft chewy style cookie. They soften a little when stored. They are much lower in fat due to the use of yoghurt instead of most of the butter or oil. As a result, it is important not to over bake the cookies.
You can substitute a jumbo egg for the pasteurised egg whites if making the cookies. For the cookie dough truffles, the pasteurised egg whites are a safer option, if salmonella is a concern.
