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!

The Secret to That Crumbl-Style Texture

The combination of natural peanut butter + applesauce + protein powder creates a soft, almost doughy center while keeping the cookies thick and bakery-style. Unlike traditional recipes loaded with butter and sugar, these stay moist without feeling heavy.

Pro tip: Slightly underbake them. That’s the key to achieving that iconic soft Crumbl cookie bite.

Storage Tips

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
• Refrigerate for up to 1 week for a firmer texture
• Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw as needed

They also reheat beautifully for that fresh-from-the-bakery feel.

When to Eat Them (Answer: Anytime)

These cookies work as:

• a high-protein dessert
• post-workout snack
• afternoon sweet craving fix
• healthier late-night treat

Basically, all the moments you want cookies… just without the sugar overload.
