Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour finely ground
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder whey or plant-based
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips at least 70% cocoa

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Cookie scoop or spoon
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This ensures the cookies won't stick and makes for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. This wet mixture will help bind the cookies together.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  6. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies!

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a chewier texture, slightly underbake the cookies and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
• Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough cookies.
• Serve with a glass of almond milk for a complete snack.
Food Safety:
• Ensure eggs are fresh and stored properly to avoid foodborne illness.
• Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.
