Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine all of the wet ingredients together: peanut butter, applesauce, and butter. Give it a quick mix.

Step 3

Add the rest of the ingredients except for the protein powder and chocolate chips (so you'll add oat flour, almond flour, baking soda, and salt). Mix until it forms a thick paste.

Step 4

Add the protein powder last, then mix until it forms cookie dough. At this point, I like to use my hands to bring it all together. Once you have cookie dough, fold in your chocolate chips.

Step 5

Lightly spray a 10" skillet and press the cookie dough into the skillet so it touches the edges. Note that you can use a smaller skillet to achieve a thicker cookie if preferred.

Step 6

Bake at 325 degrees for 14 minutes (anywhere from 12-15 minutes should work depending on your oven, but 14 minutes was perfect for mine. You can safely underbake this recipe if you choose as well.)

Step 7

When you remove the cookie skillet from the oven, it will look a little bit cakey, but it's going to settle as it cools. Allow the skillet to cool for one hour. I know waiting is the worst, but you'll end up with the perfect texture after one hour and it will still be warm & gooey inside.

Step 8

Top with vanilla ice cream, cut into 8 slices, and enjoy!
