Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon protein powder (any flavor)
- 1 tablespoon almond flour (or oat flour)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1/2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1-2 teaspoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven (Optional): Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you plan to bake the cookie. Alternatively, the cookie can be cooked quickly in the microwave.
- Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the protein powder, almond flour, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add 1-2 teaspoons of milk to achieve a dough-like consistency suitable for shaping.
- Shape the Cookie: Form the mixture into a cookie shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for baking or on a microwave-safe plate if microwaving.
- Bake the Cookie: Place the cookie in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are set and the cookie is cooked through.
- Microwave Option: Alternatively, microwave the cookie on high for 20-30 seconds until it is just set but still soft.
- Serve: Allow the cookie to cool for a minute or two before enjoying your warm, protein-packed snack.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or any nut butter you prefer.
- The protein powder flavor can be adjusted based on your taste preferences (vanilla, chocolate, etc.).
- Adjust milk quantity to get the right dough consistency; use less for thicker dough and more to make it easier to shape.
- Chocolate chips are optional but add a nice touch of sweetness and texture.
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
