High Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies

It’s nearly Christmas, which means we’re all scrambling to get our last minute holiday stuff done. For me this means adding a few festive bakes to the blog.

But, unlike my Keto Chocolate Espresso Chip Cookie Recipe or this Keto Strawberry Thumbprint Cookies Recipe, I wanted to create a low carb cookie recipe that was also high in protein to fit into my PSMF lifestyle (you can read more about PSMF here). I took my favourite protein powders and created this deliciously healthy high protein cookie recipe that comes together in under 5 minutes and requires only a bowl and a spoon!

Why you will love these PSMF Chocolate Chip Cookies

• Ultra fudgy texture and maximum chocolate flavour
• Over 12 grams of protein per cookie per 87 calories (and under 0.5 grams of sugar!)
• Look impressive and indulgent but are secretly super healthy
• Can be baked a day in advance and remain fudgy

PSMF Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients

You only need a couple of ingredients to make this high protein cookie recipe. I am giving you the exact name brand of products I use. If you choose to go with a different brand, I can not guarantee the outcome. I you use a different brand product, let me know and I will add it to the list!

• Vanilla Protein Powders - I used Nutricost Vanilla Casein protein powder which I buy on Amazon as well as The Fittest Carnivore protein powder. These two protein powders keep these cookies nice and soft and chewy in the inside.
• Egg - For this recipe, you do NOT need the egg to be at room temperature!
• Oat Fiber - I only use Modern Mountain Oat fiber as it has ZERO taste (unlike some other brands!). I am fairly certain you could replace the oat fiber with ground flaxseed meal.
• Almond Flour - Only use super-fine almond flour in this recipe
• Almond Milk - Use unsweetened almond milk. You can use it directly from the refrigerator and does not need to be at room temperature.
• Sugar-free Chocolate Chips - I like to use Bake Believe Milk and Dark Chocolate chips but feel free to use any sugar-free chocolate chip.
• Salt, Baking Soda and additional sweetener - Since each protein powder has various levels of sodium and sweetness, you may need to add a pinch or two of salt and a tablespoon or two of sweetener.

Making Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting Cookies

These high protein chocolate chip cookies only require a bowl and a spoon!

Step 1 - Combine the dry ingredients

• Whisk together the dry ingredients

Step 2 - Add the wet ingredients

• Using a large spoon, stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients (if the mixture seems to dry, add a little more almond milk)

Step 3 - Fold in the chocolate chips

• Add the sugar-free chocolate chips to the mix and stir until they are evenly distributed

Step 4 - Bake

• Divide the dough into either 12 cookies or 6 cookies and evenly space them on a parchment lined baking sheet

• bake at 350 degrees F for 8-9 minutes (Tip - do NOT overbake these cookies as they will become cakey and less gooey)
