Single Serving Protein Cookie Peanut Butter

Who doesn't love a creamy peanut butter cookie with a dash of salt and a touch of sweetness! Especially when it comes together in one bowl, makes a single serving for your "I need a peanut butter cookie right now" moments, plus made just a little more macronutrient balanced by using peanut butter powder in place of full fat peanut butter!

Peanut butter powder is defatted peanut butter. Which means it's lower in calories and fats, while maintaining its protein content. It's a great ingredient tool to have stocked in your pantry for macro friendly recipes like single serving cookies, protein shakes, or to flavour your yogurt bowls. 

This single serving cookie recipe is perfect for a quick sweet treat fix, or you can meal prep them for an easy breakfast on the go! Heads up - if you're enjoying it for breakfast I would either choose to go with the higher protein option (see notes) or have a protein shake on the side. While 15g of protein is a great snack or treat, it's (probably) not enough to keep you satiated as a full meal replacement.

Why You'll Love this Recipe

It's super easy to make!

It's packed with protein and fibre, making it a great grab and go option or quick snack.

It's gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free.

It has a similar amount of calories as a regular peanut butter cookie but with 15g of protein!

 

What You'll Need 

Peanut butter powder is essential for getting the protein up to 15g per serving!

Sprouted oats blended into a flour, or regular oat flour. 

Plain vegan yogurt. I personally like coconut yogurt.

Maple syrup or your preferred liquid sweetener. 

A dairy free milk of choice. 

Substitutions

I haven't tried it, but you could likely substitute peanut butter powder for peanut butter. It would change the macros entirely, but you would get a much richer more nutty cookie! I would do 2-3 tablespoons peanut butter as the replacement. 

Any dairy free yogurt you like works.

Any dairy free milk will work. 

Any liquid sweetener. 

 

Recipe Notes

If you want to reduce the calories you can replace the 1 tbsp maple syrup with stevia (to taste). This will reduce the macros to: 230 cals - 6g f - 29g c - 15g p. Personally I'm not big on stevia so I chose to use maple syrup for a preferred taste.

I wanted to try one of these single serving cookie recipes without protein powder because I know some of you would appreciate that! However it did decrease the protein by half, so.. if you want to bring the protein back up - use 1/4 cup peanut butter protein or vanilla protein powder (discount code: EVANNRYAN) in place of the 1/4 cup peanut butter powder. To add back in the peanut butter you can either add in 1 tbsp peanut butter (increasing the cals) or make a peanut butter powder drizzle for the top of the baked cookie!
