Double Chocolate Brownie Protein Cookies (Vegan Recipe)
These super tasty double chocolate brownie protein cookies must absolutely be next in your treat rotation! They only have 6 ingredients. These chocolate cookies are oil free, gluten free, low-carb, naturally protein rich, come with a nut free option, don’t require a blender, and are insane tasty!
I needed a new cookie for my coffee this week, something tasty, but still nutritious, and came up with this simple yet delicious recipe! They only takes 12 minutes in the oven, and besides being amazingly yummy, they are filling, too, because of the extra protein.
These are a great option for a healthy snack, dessert, or brunch. They taste better cold in my opinion, so the wait after you take them out of the oven is worth it.
Low-carb Chocolate Protein Cookies
I’m a big fan of chocolate! This time I wanted to experiment with white chocolate. I used to find vegan white chocolate chips online, but this last weekend I finally found good organic vegan white chocolate chips at the grocery store (actually, my husband found them!). If you can’t find white chocolate I suggest you inject some tahini to the cookies for a creamy and delicious alternative. I love this recipe because it’s:
Healthier than most chocolate protein cookie recipes I’ve seen.
Super quick and easy to make, it literally took me 5 minutes to put them together!
Ingredients are mostly whole foods, which means it’s oil free and processed protein free. And if you don’t feel like white chocolate you could sub with nuts!
It provides enough energy to eat as a pre-workout meal.
Only 6 Simple Ingredients
Bananas
Cocoa powder
Vegan white chocolate chips
Peanut butter
Lupini (lupin) flour
Plant-based milk
Lupini flour: I get mine online at https://smalltownspecialties.com. If you can’t find this ingredient in your country, replace it with chickpea flour. The end result will have less protein but will still be super nutritious.
Nut free? Sure, replace the peanut butter with tahini or sunflower seed butter.
Sweetener: I feel these are sweet enough with the extra ripe bananas, however, I encourage you to taste the cookie dough and then decide if you want to add a sweetener. If you use maple syrup (or any other liquid sweetener), you will need to add less plant-based milk to account for any the extra liquid.
White chocolate chips: I feel you, not everyone likes white chocolate. If this is you, I suggest you replace them with nuts, dark chocolate chips, or alternatively, you could inject some tahini in the middle of each cookie for that rich creamy goodness.
