Servings: 16
- 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup plant-based vanilla protein powder I used Sun Warrior vanilla
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips I like Lily's dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a mixing bowl, add all the ingredients except chocolate chips and stir to combine.
Fold in chocolate chips.
Using a tablespoon or medium cookie scoop, scoop dough and roll dough into 16 balls. Each cookie should be about 2 Tablespoons of dough. Flatten with fingers or a fork to form a cookie shape.
Bake for 9-10 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Cool on baking sheet a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Peanut-free – Use almond butter or another nut butter of choice.
- Nut-free – Swap the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
- Low-sugar – Use monk fruit sugar free maple syrup instead of pure maple syrup.
- Vegan – I haven't tested it, but I bet you could swap the eggs for two flaxseed eggs.
- Chocolate chips – Feel free to swap the chocolate chips with another mix-in of choice like raisins, shredded coconut or chopped nuts.
