WEIGHT GAIN COOKIES | By Hubert Cormier

Presented by:

Gaining weight can be a real challenge for some people. Many commercial products promise quick-fix solutions, but they invariably contain an endless list of ingredients that are sometimes difficult to pronounce. So, I set myself to creating an energy-dense cookie using all the right ingredients that are easily found in your kitchen (nothing from the chemistry lab!).

What I came up with packs about 250 calories, 25 grams of carbohydrates, 10 grams of fat, and 10 grams of protein… in addition to being ultra-delicious! Enjoy your workout!

Servings: 8 cookies

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

✔  250 ml (1 cup) quick-cooking rolled oats

✔  125 ml (½ cup) mixed unsalted nuts

✔  60 ml (¼ cup) pureed dates

✔  60 ml (¼ cup) nut butter

✔  125 ml (½ cup) egg whites

✔  40 g vanilla vegetable protein powder

✔  1 grated apple

✔  125 ml (½ cup) dried cranberries

✔  5 ml (1 tsp.) cinnamon

✔  1 pinch salt

Preparation

1.   Preheat oven to 350 °F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2.   In a bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix.

3.   Shape into 8 cookies, flatten slightly, and bake for 10 minutes.

HUBERT'S TIP

''You can use different nuts or dried fruits in the same proportions to create new flavour combinations each time. A version I quite like is made with dried blueberries and crushed almonds, to which I add a bit of fresh ginger. Let your creativity run wild!''
