No Bake Keto Cookie Recipe

I absolutely love easy healthy plant-based keto recipes. Like my How to Cook Black Soybeans – Plant-Based Keto Recipe, Easy Plant-Based Keto Zucchini Pie Recipe – Crustless and this Keto Pad Thai – A 15-Minute Plant-Based Vegan Recipe, I am slowly trying to create a repertoire of plant-based keto recipes.

I do not think anyone will disagree that vegetables are unhealthy. However, adding vegetables to a keto diet typically involves adding more carbs as well. I try to reserve most of my carbs for my insatiable sweet tooth...Hence this keto protein cookie recipe.

This no bake keto cookie recipe is a combination of a chewy cookie with the texture of creamy fudge. Packed with protein, this recipe is also a healthy keto cookie recipe.

Make them into bites, balls or bars, these 3-ingredient keto cookies are sure to become one of your easiest and favourite keto treats!

Ingredients

Only 3 basic ingredients are needed for these Keto Plant-based Protein Cookies!

• Tahini- Although you all know that I am a peanut butter lover (although Mr. Grumbles would call me a peanut butter addict!), I decided to use tahini since it is nut-free. I LOVE Baron's Tahini that I buy on Amazon. It contains zero sugar and zero net carbs!
• Protein Powder - To keep these plant-based and vegan-friendly, I used pea protein powder. My favourite pea protein powder is Orgain. However, you can use ANY plant-based protein powder or casein protein powder. I do not suggest whey powder as it contains enzymes that do not create the thick cookie texture that you want. I used vanilla but if you can use any flavour you want. I also decided to add some collagen protein powder to keep these cookies nice and chewy. My absolute FAVOURITE collagen powder is by Naked Nutrition. Grass-fed and ZERO taste makes it my number one pick for collagen protein powder.
• Sweetener - I love using Tapioca Fiber Syrup from KetoGoods. It is a prebiotic fiber that is actually healthy for our GI systems.

Instructions for Keto Protein Cookie Recipe

One bowl, one spoon and 5 minutes is all that is needed for this no bake keto cookie recipe!

Hint: All protein powders are slightly different in terms of how much liquid they need. You may need to add 1-3 tablespoons of either water or almond milk to get the right consistency. Also, feel free to add additional sweeteners depending on your taste.

Substitutions

These 3-ingredient keto cookies are so easy to make and the ingredients can easily be swapped out to suit your taste.

• Butter - instead of tahini, use peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower seed butter or palm oil.
• Sweetener - use sugar-free maple syrup, homemade simple syrup, or sugar-free honey instead.
• Protein Powder - you can replace the pea protein powder with egg white powder or Casein powder. I do not recommend using whey protein powder.

Since this keto protein cookie recipe was intentionally created to be an allergy-friendly keto recipe, I used ingredients that did not contain any gluten, nuts or dairy. If you alter this recipe, the nutritional information will also vary.

Variations

You will never keto bored of this no bake keto cookie recipe since you can add so much variety to create new and different keto plant-based protein cookies every week!

• Maple - use sugar-free maple syrup and vanilla protein powder
• Reese's - use peanut butter and chocolate protein powder
• Snickerdoodle - use vanilla protein powder (or cinnamon roll flavour) and add sprinkle each keto protein cookie with a mixture of sugar-free brown sugar and cinnamon powder.

Equipment

I like to use a cookie scoop and a cookie stamp to make these keto plant-based protein cookies. In doing so, I can assure that my macros are the same for each cookie.

If you do not have a cookie press, you can simply use the palm of your hand to press down on each cookie or place each cookie into the well of a muffin pan and press down to flatten.

Storage

These 3-ingredient keto cookies should be stored in the fridge or freezer. I prefer storing the cookies in the freezer since they last up to 3 months that way. Just don’t store these plant-based keto cookies at room temperature as they will soften too much and become sticky.
