Cream-Mint Cookies (High Protein!)

These cookies are beyond phenomenal and require very few, fairly clean, ingredients.

2 scoops Cookies & Cream protein powder
2 cups regular oatmeal (blended to create oat flour)
1 cup liquid egg white
1/2 cup almond milk
1 box sugar free, instant, chocolate pudding
2 teaspoons mint extract

Topping:
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
sprinkling of Truvia
couple drops of vanilla
green food coloring (because why not?)
dark chocolate candy crumbles

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all of the cookie ingredients in bowl. Grease cookie tray with oil (I used olive oil, coconut oil is another option). Drop cookie batter onto tray and bake approximately 15 minutes. Top with yogurt frosting and enjoy!

The recipe yields about 12 cookies, each one at approximately 65-70 calories (without toppings).
