Equipment

  • Small Bowl
  • Spoon or small spatula
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Oven or toaster oven
  • baking sheet or small oven-safe dish
  • Parchment paper (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp protein powder (about 16 g)
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter (about 30 g)
  • 1.5 tbsp sweetener of choice
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/16 tsp baking soda
  • 1/16 tsp salt
  • optional mix-ins chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, etc.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven or toaster oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • If the peanut butter is firm, warm it gently until easily stirrable.
  • In a small bowl, combine the protein powder, baking soda, and salt; mix to aerate.
  • Add the peanut butter, sweetener, water, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms; if your sweetener is granulated, add an extra tablespoon of water to help bind.
  • Fold in any optional mix-ins if using.
  • Press the dough into a cookie shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet or small oven-safe dish, about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Bake for 7 minutes, then remove and let cool completely before handling so the cookie firms up.

Notes

  • Gently warming peanut butter helps it combine smoothly.
  • If using granular sweeteners, add an extra tablespoon of water.
  • Let the cookie cool fully; it firms up as it cools.
  • Use any protein powder you prefer.
