Peanut Butter Cookies (Almond Flour and Protein)

These healthy almond flour and peanut butter protein cookies are my new addiction. Made with only 4 simple ingredients and one bowl, these quick and easy cookies can be whipped up and baked under 20 minutes. These delicious, clean eating treats contain an impressive 14 g of protein per cookie and are entirely gluten-free, keto, low-carb, refined sugar-free, flourless, grain-free and can easily be made egg-free by simply replacing the eggs with mashed banana.

¾ cup almond flour
½ cup vanilla whey protein powder
1 cup natural peanut butter, smooth
2 large eggs

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C/160°C fan, Gas Mark 4). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Combine all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir gently until smooth.

Scoop about ¼ cup (or 2 heaped Tbsp.) of cookie dough and roll it into a ball using your hands. Place the balls on your baking sheet with enough space between each of them.

Flatten the cookie dough balls into your baking sheet using a fork. (These cookies will not get larger while cooking, they will remain the same size).

Transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.

Remove from the oven, wait 10 minutes, then place the cookies on a wire rack to cool down.

Refer to the Frequently asked questions above for instructions on how to properly store these cookies.

Makes 8 cookies.
