(High-Protein, Whole-Food Based, and Actually Delicious!)
If you’ve ever tried a “protein cookie” and thought, “Okay, this tastes like cardboard” , I’ve got you covered. This recipe went viral for a reason. It’s so flavorful and packed with protein from whole-food ingredients. Plus, it’s ridiculously easy to make. Whether you’re craving a sweet treat after dinner or want something satisfying with your coffee, these cookies hit the spot every time.
🍪 Why You’ll Love These Cookies
High in protein thanks to Equip Foods Prime Protein (use code HAILEY for 15%-30% off!)
Made with simple, whole-food ingredients
No funky aftertaste like some protein snacks
Perfectly chewy and delicious, not chalky or dry
Quick to make (just one bowl and 10 minutes of baking)
🛒 Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
6 tbsp Vanilla Equip Foods Prime Protein No Sugar Version (code HAILEY)
4 tbsp Natural peanut butter (the runny kind – mix it well before scooping)
3 tbsp Quick-cook oats (blend into a powder)
2 tbsp Organic maple syrup
1 tbsp Almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
1 tbsp Vanilla extract
¼ tsp Baking powder
¼ tsp Salt
2–3 tbsp Mini semisweet chocolate chips (I love the Enjoy Life Foods brand)
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Blend your quick oats into a powder (no need to make them super fine, just blended enough to not be whole).
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl except the chocolate chips.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Let the dough sit for 5 minutes. It’ll be sticky, and that’s okay!
Use a cookie or ice cream scoop to form 4–5 cookies on your baking sheet.
Lightly flatten each cookie with damp hands.
Bake for 10 minutes. If they look slightly under-baked, that’s perfect - they’ll finish setting as they cool.
Let cool almost completely before removing/peeling from the parchment paper.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days (if they last that long 😉).
⚡️ Nutrition & Notes
Let’s be real — these aren’t “diet” cookies. They’re:
Similar in calories to a regular cookie 🍪
A bit higher in fat due to peanut butter 🥜
Higher in protein thanks to the Equip Prime Protein 💪
They’re not meant to replace a meal or be a fat-loss hack. Instead, think of them as a fun, balanced treat made with real ingredients and no weird additives.
🍴 How to Enjoy Them
Crumble one over Greek yogurt or cottage cheese
Pair with coffee as a sweet snack
Warm one up and top with a drizzle of almond butter
Keep a batch in the fridge for dessert treats
🧡 Final Thoughts
These cookies are everything I’ve ever wanted in a protein cookie: soft, chewy, flavorful, and satisfying. They’re proof that healthy baking can still taste amazing with no compromises.
