Peanut Butter Chocolate Protein Cookie

| PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE PROTEIN COOKIE | Single serving.

A single serving meal replacement cookie that packs 27g of plant-based protein! It's super quick to throw together, has all the ooey gooey cookie textures we crave, and uses only high quality, good-for-you ingredients to keep your energy high. 

To Note:

The cookie is meant to be a healthy, meal replacement or protein snack so it's very lightly sweetened. If you want a sweeter more dessert like cookie increase the maple syrup! Tip: you can test the batter since its vegan and adjust as needed :)

 

Ingredient Substitutions 

Oat flour can be substituted for whole wheat flour or all purpose flour.

Peanut butter powder is essential for the protein content of the cookie, but if you're just looking for a single serving cookie and don't care about the macros you could substitute 1/4 cup more flour in place of the peanut butter powder.  

Almond milk can be substituted for any preferred dairy free milk option. 

Maple syrup can be substituted for another liquid sweetener, like agave nectar.

The chocolate I used is my favourite brand (linked below) but of course use whatever chocolate you prefer.

Recipe makes one large cookie (or divide the macros into 2-3 small snack cookies)

Macros per cookie (full batter):

478 cals - 22g fat - 43g carbs - 27g protein 

 

Ingredients:

1/4 cup oat flour (blend 1/4 cup sprouted oats into a flour)

1/4 cup peanut butter powder

1 tbsp peanut butter

1/4 tsp baking soda 

pinch salt

1/4 cup almond milk 

1/2 tbsp maple syrup

1/2 tsp vanilla extract  

6 squares (20g) Zazubean Cheeky Bar Chocolate, chopped 

 

Recipe:

Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.

To a mixing bowl add: oat flour, peanut butter powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together.

Add in almond milk, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. 

Fold everything together forming a dough.

Fold in chocolate chips.

Troubleshooting cookie dough texture:

Because protein powders vary so much your dough may result in a slightly different texture than mine, so:

If your dough is too wet: add to the fridge (30 minutes) or freezer (10 min) to firm. This should make it easy to roll into a ball. 

If the texture is too dry simple add 1 tbsp additional almond milk until you have a nice, sticky cookie dough texture.

Roll the cookie dough into one big cookie (or 2-3 small ones) and press onto a baking tray.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browning around the edges.

If you're making 2-3 smaller cookies then adjust baking time to 8-9 minutes.

Remove cookie from oven and sprinkle with flaky salt if desired.

Allow to cool before enjoying!
