Ice Cream Cookie Bowls
Yields 6 Cookie Bowls
Ingredients:
- ½ C dairy-free butter
- ½ C granulated monk fruit sweetener
- 1 egg
- 1½ C oat flour
- 1 scoop Vital Performance™ Vanilla Protein
- ½ t baking soda
- ½ t vanilla extract
- ¼ C mini chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- With a handheld mixer, combine the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in a medium-sized bowl.
- Add all remaining ingredients (except chocolate chips) into the bowl.
- Carefully combine the ingredients with a spatula. Then, knead the dough with your hands.
- Add the chocolate chips to the bowl and knead again until the dough forms a sphere.
- Refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes and separate into 6 pieces once removed.
- Spray the back of your cupcake pan with the cooking oil of your choice.
- Carefully mold each piece of dough into a flat circle. Then use your hands to mold the dough around an individual cupcake mold.
- Repeat 6 times until the dough is gone or 3 times if your pan is meant for 6 cupcakes. (Note: Each cookie will expand in the oven, requiring room between each. If your pan is small, we recommend baking these in batches of 3.)
- Bake on the middle rack for 25 minutes, then allow to cool for 15 minutes before carefully removing each bowl from the pan.
- Fill each bowl with your favorite ice cream and sundae toppings & enjoy!
