Ingredients

• 60 grams Chocolate protein powder
• 120 grams Almond flour
• 15 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free or 70% cacao)
• 1 large Egg
• 80 grams Almond butter (unsweetened)
• 60 milliliters Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: almond butter, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk (plant-based or regular) to loosen it slightly.

Step 5

Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop even portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each mound slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. The cookies will still be soft in the middle but will firm up as they cool.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy the cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
