Giant Strawberries ‘n Cream Protein Cookie for One is nearly as big as yo’ face, but go ahead and eat the whole thing – if you can! The entire homemade protein cookie has 380 cal, 20g fat, 18g net carb, 31g protein – half would make a great post-workout snack and the whole thing can sub for a mini meal on the go – like a busy day breakfast!
It’s super easy to make one of these protein powder cookies with Clean Lean Protein (Strawberry) from Nuzest – a plant-based, gluten-free, no-added-yucky-or-questionable-ingredient protein powder I love.
I actually made this massive single-serving cookie recipe for one in my toaster oven, so easy and convenient! Of course, a regular oven works too!
NOTES:
Flour: I used a gluten-free flour blend, but you can swap for the flour of choice. However, this may vary the macros and texture.
Cook in Oven or Toaster Oven: I cooked in my Omni Plus Air Fryer / Toaster Oven – however, the first one I tried on “air fry,” burned quickly but on the “toaster” feature at 350F degrees, it worked perfectly — about 8 to 10 minutes in a toaster oven or conventional oven.
Protein Powder: Again, I used Nuzest, a plant-based protein powder. Use my Nuzest discount code FITFORK to save 15% (if they aren’t already having a better deal)! You could also swap in an equal portion of whey protein. The texture is somewhat dense, due to a high volume of protein powder (I wanted a 30g+ protein cookie). If you want something lighter and fluffier, cut the protein powder in half and mix back in with an equal swap of more flour – a traditional flour or gluten-free baking blend will work best.
Toppings: I topped with sugar-free white chocolate chips and fresh strawberries, but honestly, you could add almost anything – nuts, seeds, dried fruit, etc. Just lightly press everything into the raw dough.
