4 Ingredient Single Serve Protein Cookie

I was feeling like an afternoon snack, and decided to try bake my 4-ingredient protein cookie dough balls into a protein cookie - remember those? I love them as a mix-in in a ninja creami pint.

Simply combine, flatten, and bake. And enjoy for your afternoon pick me up! Each one packs about 18-22g of protein.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp almond butter *

• 2 tbsp protein powder **

• 1 tbsp liquid sweetener of choice ***

• 1 tbsp chocolate chips of choice ****

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a small cookie sheet with parchment paper.

2. Mix all ingredients until fully combined.

3. Shape into ball and gently flatten on cookie sheet

4. Bake for 11-13 minutes, then let cool fully (the texture changes/improves with cooling)

5. Enjoy!

NOTES:

* peanut butter or almond butter are both great options for higher protein & lower carbs, but any smooth natural nut or seed butter will work (play around for different flavour combos!)

** if you only have flavoured protein powder, you may want to decrease the liquid sweetener, and sub some water so they don’t end up too sweet

***you can use maple syrup, honey, etc, or use a sugar-free-syrup for keto/low carb

(vegan/df/sf if desired - we used vegan coconut-sugar sweetened chocolate)

****vegan/df/sf chocolate if desired - we used vegan coconut-sugar sweetened chocolate here since that’s what we always have around.
