Skinny Peanut Butter PB2 Cookies image

An peanut buttery, protein-packed, and better-for-you treat! These cookies are cake-like (not crispy or chewy per se) but yummy nonetheless! I oftentimes substitute 2/3 of the required flour with Quest Nutrition's multi-purpose protein powder for extra protein and less carbs. Note: PB2 is not factored into the nutritional information, but here are the additional nutrition stats per cookie: +15 calories, 1/2 gram fat, 1/3 gram sugar, 2 grams cabs, 2 grams protein.

Time 15m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup stevia, in the raw
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup powdered peanut butter (PB2)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unbleached flour
1/2 egg
1/8 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon sugar-free maple syrup
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix dry ingredients in a small mixing bowl (stevia, brown sugar, PB2, baking soda, salt, flour/protein).
  • Add remaining wet ingredients and mix to combine (egg, almond milk, vanilla, syrup).
  • Your batter will be quite sticky. If it seems like it isn't combining, add a little bit of almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time.
  • Lightly dampen your hands and roll tablespoon-sized balls of the dough and press them down onto a cooking-spray'ed cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes.
