Ingredients 

Makes: 8-10 cookies 
 

300g instant porridge oats

125g coconut protein powder (I used the Whey Hey coconut from Bio-Synergy)

1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1 pinch salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

3 large eggs

50g brown sugar 

40g butter

2 American hard gums

Blue, White and pink icing 

1 candy cane

 

Step by step

Prep: 10min  ›  Cook: 6-8min  
 

Preheat oven to 190 C / Gas 5

Grind oats in a food processor until you get the consistency of flour (this is just optional!)  

Combine the oat flour with Bio-Synergy coconut protein powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt, and set aside

Warm the butter in the oven or using a sauce pan until almost liquid

Whisk together the sugar, eggs, butter and vanilla. Add to the oat flour and protein powder, and mix well

Line a baking tray with baking paper, and drop the cookie dough onto the tray

Form a gingerbread bread shape with your fingers, or using a mould if you have. (I did mine without a mould, just looked up a ‘Gingey’ picture on the internet to use a model)

Bake in oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Don't overbake. Leave for 5 minutes to cool on the tray

Add the icing, and the American hard gums as decoration, using a picture as model

Bon appétit!
