Ingredients
Scale
- 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- Optional: Sweetener of your choice (e.g., stevia or honey)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together protein powder, cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix egg, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract.
- Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Add a splash of almond milk if the dough is too thick.
- Gently stir in the chocolate chunks, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared sheet, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies will look slightly soft but firm up as they cool.
- Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
[‘Chill the dough for 15 minutes if it feels sticky.’, ‘Don’t overbake—slightly underdone cookies are chewier and softer.’, ‘Customize chocolate chunks with dark chocolate, white chocolate, or peanut butter chips for variety.’]
