Vegan Chocolate Protein Cookies

Posted: September 22, 2019

Whip up these delicious Vegan Chocolate Protein Cookies in less than 10 minutes for a healthy, high-protein breakfast or snack! Vegan, gluten-free, oil-free, refined sugar-free chocolate cookies with oats, banana, peanut butter, chocolate protein powder, chocolate chips, and a dab of maple syrup!

Grab one of these cookies for a quick snack or an on-the-go breakfast! Every day, I’ve been eating one of these cookies for breakfast and I just can’t get sick of them! They taste like an indulgent chocolate treat, but only contain healthy plant-based ingredients.

How to Make Vegan Chocolate Protein Cookies

For this super simple recipe, you just need a few essentials that you probably already have in your pantry! You can even customize this recipe’s flavors by using any protein powder you want – vanilla, chai, pumpkin spice!

First, you have to simply mash your bananas in a bowl. Make sure to use super ripe bananas for a sweeter taste!

Next, add in all remaining ingredients and mix together. Simple as that!

I then form round shapes out of the mixture on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Don’t worry about having perfectly round shaped cookies, they’re not going to look perfect.

Finally, pop them in the oven and enjoy!

Note: I put the measurement of the protein powder in ounces because all protein powder serving sizes have different scoop sizes. This is the most accurate way to measure your protein powder to ensure the recipe turns out like mine 🙂

Note: If you want these cookies to be refined sugar-free, use sugar-free chocolate chips and protein powder. My favorite sugar-free chocolate chips are these ones from Lily’s! You can find them for cheaper at Thrive Market. You can save 25% off your first order at Thrive, by clicking my link here: http://thrv.me/CrueltyFreeCrystal.

Scoop mixture into even round cookie shapes on the baking sheet using a spoon. Flatten the tops with your spoon. I usually make around 6-8.
