Crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside, these flourless protein chocolate peanut butter cookies are a delicious protein pack treat to enjoy after a workout.
I don’t know about you but when I leave the gym, I’m always hungry. Like eat the whole fridge hungry, buy all the chocolate hungry, gobble all the ice cream hungry. And because you did so good at the gym, it is easy to think it’s OK to indulge in all the unhealthy stuff.
Well, my friend. You can now indulge and not feel guilty about it afterwards with these delicious protein packed chocolate peanut butter cookies!
Of course, you already know about my love for Kura protein powder. I have talked about it here and here. So naturally, I had to create a quick snack besides my daily smoothies and these yummy popsicles I made to trick my kids into eating healthy, using the protein powder that I love so much.
Kura is so easy to incorporate into any recipe and great because it taste amazing. It is also so good for you! Kura offers 26 vitamins and minerals, 5 gm of fiber, no added sugar and is GMO’s free.
Eating just one or two of these cookies will satisfy your cravings and fill you up until lunch time.
Furthermore, they are also very easy to make. Simply mix peanut butter, sugar, cocoa powder, protein powder and eggs until well combined. Take a tablespoon of the dough, roll into a ball and flatten a bit. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool for about 10 minutes.
That’s it! Now go enjoy these flourless protein chocolate peanut butter cookies and all it’s gooey glory.
Tip: Do not bake the cookies for more than 10 minutes or they will become hard and dry.

Tried this today! Only change made was hand mixing instead of electric mixing – was very quick & easy to stir with a fork. Texture of cookies is somewhat mealy, but I’m a big fan of the flavor, and can’t argue with so few ingredients! Would make again.

Can you leave out the sugar? Trying to make it diabetic friendly!

Yes, you can. But test for texture first.
