Ideal as a post-workout snack or a meal-prep staple, this nutritious treat is easy to make and features a balanced profile of healthy fats and muscle-supporting ingredients.
Ingredients
2 Large Eggs (room temperature)
2/3 cup Natural Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 cup Granulated Coconut or Cane Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Vanilla Protein Powder
60g (12 servings of 5g) Creatine Monohydrate
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a standard baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, peanut butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold in the protein powder, creatine, baking soda, and salt until a thick dough forms.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are set.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
If using salted peanut butter, omit the added salt in the recipe. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. The cookies will be soft due to the high fat content from the nut butter.
