Macro-Friendly Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
Your favorite classic peanut butter cookies but with a healthier twist! These cookies are so yummy that you’ll forget that they’re healthy. With added protein and fiber, these are a sweet treat that you can feel great about.
Equipment
- 2 small mixing bowls
- 2 small mixing spoons or spatulas (I love these ones)
- 1 Cookie sheet I love my Caraway Home cooking sheets - no need for cooking spray or parchment paper!
- 1 whisk
- 1 Cookie scoop
Ingredients
- ½ cup powdered peanut butter
- ¼ cup water
- ¼ cup lite maple syrup
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ⅓ cup oat flour
- 2 tbsp vanilla peanut butter protein powder (Transparent Labs is the best)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together half of the peanut butter powder and the water. Then add maple syrup, creamy peanut butter, and vanilla, whisking until combined.
- In a small bowl, use a spatula to mix together oat flour, the rest of the peanut butter powder, protein powder, and baking powder.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Using a cookie scoop, a tablespoon, or your hands, roll the dough into balls about 1.5 tbsp in size. Flatten each ball with the back of a fork in a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes or until browned.
Notes
These bake quickly! Keep a close eye on them so that they don’t overcook.
