Chocolate and peanut butter cookies that are high in protein? You absolutely have to try these!
Ingredients
1/8 cup cocoa powder
3/8 cup unflavoured or chocolate pea protein powder (our Pea Protein 80 is ideal)
1/8 cup coconut sugar
1 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp coconut oil
1/2 cup cartoned coconut (or almond) milk
Directions
1. Chuck all the above ingredients in a food processor and blend it all together until you get a paste.
2. Shape the mix into six ‘balls’ and flatten each one on a baking-paper-lined cookie tray. Use a cookie stamp but you don’t have to if you don’t want to. You can use your fingers instead to flatten the dough (or a fork).
3. Bake at 160 C (320 F) for about 20 minutes or until the cookies are cooked through. Do NOT overbake them. It’s best to take them out while they’re still soft in the centre, far better than cooking them all the way through because they tend to set a bit more as they cool. So take them out when they’re cooked but not rock-hard-cooked.
