Flourless Small Batch Double Chocolate Protein Cookies
These Double Chocolate Protein Cookies are one of my recipes that went absolutely viral on social media - and for good reason, they're the best protein cookies! This recipe is gluten free, flourless, egg free & dairy free and is made with wholesome, real food ingredients. I use only the highest quality 3 ingredient protein powder which gives these cookies their irresistible texture. This recipe makes about 3 large cookies with around 24 g protein per cookie!
Ingredients
- ½ cup chocolate protein powder grass fed beef isolate protein powder is the preferred choice; see post for notes
- 3 tablespoon gluten free oats
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp real maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon chocolate almond milk or milk of choice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 3 squares high quality dark chocolate chopped, can sub chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the batter. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl first & mix gently, then add the wet ingredients. Mix together with a fork until a thick batter forms and all ingredients are fully incorporated. The batter will resemble traditional cookie dough, but may be a touch stickier depending on the type of protein powder you’re using.
- Add Mix Ins. Fold in chocolate until fully incorporated.
- Scoop the dough. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop the dough into three large cookies. The cookies will spread a bit when baking, but I like to smoosh them down just a bit with my hand. Be sure to leave room in between so they don’t bake into each other.
- Bake. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cookies are set & golden brown. If the cookies aren’t quite set when you remove it from the oven, instead of baking longer than 10-12 minutes, place it in the fridge for 5 minutes, this will help them set.
