Why High-Protein?

Protein is a crucial macronutrient that plays a vital role in building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones, and supporting overall health. Incorporating high-protein foods into your diet can help with weight management, muscle growth, and improved metabolism.

Ingredients

To make these healthy, high-protein peanut butter chocolate chip cookies with no added sugar, you’ll need:

• 1 cup natural peanut butter (no added sugar or oil)
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder (Choose a high-quality brand with no added sugar, I like Promix! Code HEALTHYHELPER10 saves 10%!)
• 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/4 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the almond flour, vanilla protein powder, erythritol or monk fruit sweetener, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until well combined. The dough should be thick and slightly sticky.
4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Shape the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.
6. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies may appear slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your high-protein peanut butter chocolate chip Crumbl cookies with no added sugar!

Tips for Success

• Use Natural Peanut Butter: Natural peanut butter has fewer additives and a more robust peanut flavor. Make sure to stir it well before using.
• Quality Protein Powder: Choose a protein powder that you enjoy the taste of, as it will affect the overall flavor of the cookies.
• Don’t Overbake: These cookies are best when they are slightly underbaked, giving them a soft and chewy texture.
