Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Chocolate protein powder
- 120 grams Almond flour
- 15 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free or 70% cacao)
- 1 large Egg
- 80 grams Almond butter (unsweetened)
- 60 milliliters Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: almond butter, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk (plant-based or regular) to loosen it slightly.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop even portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each mound slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The cookies will still be soft in the middle but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy the cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
