Description
Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies are a healthy and delicious snack packed with protein.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted) or unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, rolled oats, protein powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the melted coconut oil (or butter), honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
- For a vegan option, replace the egg with a flax egg.
