Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon protein powder (any flavor)
- 1 tablespoon almond flour (or oat flour)
- Pinch of baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1/2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Optional
- 1/2 tablespoon chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven (Optional): Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you prefer to bake the cookie instead of microwaving it.
- Mix Ingredients: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the protein powder, almond flour, peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add milk one teaspoon at a time until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Cookie: Form the dough into a round cookie shape. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper if baking, or on a microwave-safe plate if microwaving.
- Bake: Bake the cookie in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges look set and firm.
- Microwave (Alternative): If you choose to microwave, cook the cookie on high power for 20-30 seconds until it is just set.
- Serve: Allow the cookie to cool for a minute before enjoying as a quick and healthy snack.
Notes
- Adjust the milk quantity to get the desired dough consistency – it should be soft but not runny.
- Use any flavor of protein powder to customize the taste.
- You can substitute almond flour with oat flour if preferred.
- Adding chocolate chips is optional but adds a nice texture and flavor.
- This recipe is perfect for a quick single serving and can be prepared in just 10 minutes.
