The recipe makes 20 protein powder cookies depending on the size of your cookie — more on that below and the macros come out to be 12 grams of carbs, 3 of grams protein, and 5 grams of fat again, depending on your exact ingredients.

Dry… artificially sweetened… gross aftertaste. This homemade protein cookie recipe is the one to make when you want a delicious, balanced cookie with added protein. Thick and buttery, just like the real thing.

Another great macro-friendly, high protein cookie option is my Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie for One. No, quick oats are much more finely milled and will dry out the protein cookie dough.

You must use old-fashioned oats aka rolled oats in this recipe. I like to bake using a silicon baking mat because they wipe clean and are reusable. You want to bake them minutes mine were done right at the 9-minute mark , just until the edges are starting to crisp and turn golden brown.

The homemade cookie recipes listed below may not be high in protein, but they sure are delicious! Leave me a comment and let me know if you try this protein cookies recipe with any successful variations!

My Favorite Travel Accessory: A Watch by JORD. I just made these with PB peanut butter protein powder. The flavor is delicious, but they fall apart. Wondering what I did wrong. These are the only ch.

I use half butter and half chocolate almond butter to reduce the saturated fat. I also weigh my oats once ground at 80 gr. per cup to avoid the dough being too dry. Love this recipe! Giving you a 5 star for doing a great job making proteiny, GF, choc chip, oat cookies EXACTLY what I needed for my son!

We added a second egg, 2 Tbl molasses, and a couple Tbls of light olive oil, because our were a bit drier but still tasty. No excuse for my teen boy to not eat breakfast now. THANKYOU :. Jump to Recipe -. Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies. Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes. Cook Time: 9 minutes minutes.

Total Time: 19 minutes minutes. Servings: 20 cookies. We love them. Thank you for a great recipe. I was looking forward to making this recipe. How much banana please?

My hands were sticky and I had a hard time rolling each cookie into a ball. In your video, yours did not look that sticky. when they thaw they are runny….. could that be why my batter was so sticky? Maybe try less bananas next time, or use fresh instead of frozen. Actually the cookies baked fine and taste good.

Next time I will use applesauce to make the batter more manageable. Thanks for your input. I have a question about the amount of rolled oats. It recently came to my attention, and very much to my chagrin, that a half cup of oats measured with a standard measuring cup weighs significantly more than the 40 grams that is in parenthesis alongside the measurement.

In terms of grams, a serving is 40 gms of oats which barely fills a third cup measure! For the purposes of this recipe, what do you suggest doing when prepping? Measuring out the oats with standard measuring cup or weighing them and going with grams of oats to make the three cups? I hope this makes sense to you.

It changes the calorie count significantly! I would suggest measuring using a standard measuring cup. Cookies are amazing!! Can I use egg instead of applesauce?

I would not use regular butter in place of peanut butter, your cookies will come out greasy and not good. Good substitutes for peanut butter would be almond butter, sunflower seed butter, or cashew butter. I love an oatie cookie!

I think I would swap peanut butter for almond though — yum! I made these and they turned out fabulous! I added almonds 🙂. Like you, I must have protein in the morning! These were so good and a nice change of pace from my usual scramble.

I love every single ingredient in these little protein packed cookies! Would these be suitable to give to my 10 month old. She does really well with finger foods. Thank you in advance! These cookies sound so good!

What other natural sweetener can be used other than maple syrup? Thank you. Hi Annise! You can use a small amount maybe 1 tbsp or even less of stevia or monkfruit instead of the maple syrup, but you may need to add a little bit more applesauce if you do so.

Hi Cara! I shared these at work and many asked me for the recipe. I freeze them individually and eat one at a time. My 25 yr old daughter enjoys them too. Taste good and are good for you!! I do too! I also prefer applesauce, and just made them with crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth and they were AMAZING.

They turn out good either way! The 2 whole grams is what makes your recipe so much better than regular oatmeal protein wise? give me a break.

Thank you for your comment. Would love for you to check your math next time before picking apart another nutrition professional. The peanut butter holds all the other ingredients together. Hope that helps 🙂. It might end up a little bit gummy though, so you may need to add more almond milk after you blend it up!

Hi Chris! This recipe is definitely easy and fairly inexpensive so I hope it makes a good replacement! Let me know what you think of them after you make them, would love the feedback! Yes, they do! I wrap them in plastic wrap individually before I stick them in the freezer.

I think they taste just as good thawed out as they do fresh! Yummy and super easy to make! Would recommend! How many oz or g should each cookie be? I want to make sure I get the right amount of protein! Hi Helen! Let me know what you think of them 🙂.

I just put a fresh batch of these cookies in the oven, and each one weighed about 2. I make these for my daughter as a snack. She loves them and so do I! Easy and fast to make. Yummy and crunchy to satisfy my sweet tooth in a healthy way! Bonus: Vegan and a great source of protein.

I can hardly wait to try them — they sound delicious, and so easy. Could we use powdered peanut butter instead of jarred pb?

And feel free to rate it down below in the comment section. I would really appreciate it! Oatmeal protein cookies are the perfect grab and go breakfast, and are incredibly easy and simple to make! Just how much protein is in these cookies? In one place, you say 8 grams.

In another, you say 9 grams, and even further down you say 16 grams! Hi there! I just updated this post so I apologize! Very yummy. Have you tried soaking the chia seeds prior to mixing them into the batter?

Wonder if that would affect the way the cookies held together or would make them more moist. These need a liquid.

I added a lot of almond milk and will add more next time. I worry about causing a blockage eating that much chia and flax without enough liquid. Also, chia and flax are good binders for the cookies, and you miss out on that benefit by leaving out the liquid.

I plan to lower the peanut butter a bit as well. Good base recipe though! They taste yummy and gave me a good starting point for a cookie with lots of fiber. Is a serving one cookie or two?

Thank you for catching that! I just updated this post and changed the serving size to 1 cookie. I always eat 2 of these cookies for breakfast. I may have errored in my ingredients I used peanut butter,but no applesauce as it was suggested as a alternative to peanut butter , yet in your video you used both 9 ingredients instead of the printed recipe of 8 ingredients.

Do you usually use both? Yes you really need both applesauce and peanut butter. The applesauce adds sweetness and makes them softer. LOVE these cookies.

I am so grateful for you publishing this recipe. I make them every week for breakfast cookies for my teenage son and me, and they are much healthier than cereal or other things he might eat. There is so much fiber and protein in them. This makes me so happy! Steel cut oats do not get soft enough in this recipe to be very good.

I had bariatric surgery a few years back and am always looking for healthy, protein packed grab and go breakfast options. Bonus…these will totally be something my 20 yr.

old picky daughter will eat! Thanks so much for sharing this. We love them. Thank you for a great recipe. I was looking forward to making this recipe.

Have you tried these with normal whole wheat or all purpose flour? I assume it would just be less protein? You could replace it with any type of nut flour, on a ratio, tho.

Would I need to add vanilla extract or sugar to compensate? What kind do u suggest? Brand generic or otherwise? Hi Lorraine, plant-based protein powder absorbs a lot of moisture. So if you plan on trying it, I would suggest removing most if not all of the almond flour.

It would be a very different cookie! Good taste but fell apart even after cooling completely. Any suggestions on how to keep them intact. Would Xanthiam gum help? Yummy Protein snack.

Just added that in 🙂. It can definitely be substituted with sunflower butter, pumpkin seed butter or another allergy friendly nut free option. We do not recommend omitting it, because the cookies will mostly just be powder then.

Taste the dough to decide. Look around at a local grocery store or health food store. You will likely find numerous types and flavors of protein powders for sale, including whey protein, brown rice protein, pea protein, egg white, hemp, casein, collagen, and soy protein. Try out different brands to find your personal favorites.

I find that some protein powder brands have a strong artificial aftertaste. Others are more neutral, which is ideal for baking with protein powder.

I prefer unflavored and unsweetened protein powder for cookies, to ensure the most natural taste. But if you have a flavored powder that you love, feel free to use it. The market is saturated with packaged protein cookies these days.

While the store bought cookies are packed with protein, that does not necessarily mean all of the options are good for you. Some cookies contain more added sugar than protein, and others include artificial sweeteners, palm oil, or white flour.

Making your own healthy protein cookies at home allows you to control what ingredients to include and lets you skip the processed ingredients or hard-to-digest gums or sugar alcohols.

The homemade protein cookie recipe has no flour, more than three grams of fiber, and up to twenty grams of protein depending on the type of protein powder used for just calories in a large cookie.

Leftover protein powder? Add it to these Baked Oats. For vegan protein cookies, simply choose a plant based protein powder and optional dairy free chocolate chips. The high protein cookies are gluten free and naturally flourless as long as the protein powder you use does not contain gluten.

To make keto protein cookies, use a keto protein powder and low carb nut butter such as macadamia butter. Sweeten the cookies with granulated erythritol or stevia.

If the nut butter is not already easily stir-able which is especially common if you are using natural peanut butter or almond butter , gently warm it to soften. Combine the nut butter with all of the remaining ingredients, and stir to form a cookie dough texture.

Break into four pieces, and roll each piece into a ball. Then press into cookie shapes with your hands or the bottom of a spoon. Place on a cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper if desired, and bake for eight minutes on the oven center rack at degrees Fahrenheit preheated. Let cool before handling, because they firm up as they cool.

Store leftover cookies in an airtight covered container on the counter, in the refrigerator, or in the freezer. Feel free to substitute an equal amount of oat flour for the protein powder. Or experiment to find the ideal amount of coconut flour or almond flour to use as a substitute.

If using coconut flour, you will need much less. If using honey, agave, or pure maple syrup instead of sugar, you may need to add more protein powder, a little at a time, to achieve a cookie dough texture.
