Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies
These easy protein cookies with protein powder are soft, chewy and packed with chocolate chips. Made with whey protein and yoghurt, no peanut butter needed!
Equipment
- Measuring Cups & Spoons
Ingredients
- 100 g Oat Flour blended oats (¾ cup + 1 tbsp)
- 40 g Protein Powder (½ cup)
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 15 g Sugar or Sweetener (1 tbsp)
- Pinch of Salt
- 125 g Yogurt (½ cup)
- 60 g Chocolate Chips (⅓ cup)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the oat flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, salt and sugar or sweetener to a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly combined.
- Add the yoghurt and mix until a soft cookie dough forms. The dough should hold together easily and be soft enough to shape. If it feels dry or crumbly, add a little more yoghurt.
- Fold the chocolate chips through the dough until evenly distributed.
- Divide the dough into 8 portions and shape each one into a cookie. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and set. Be careful not to overbake them, as whey protein can dry out when baked for too long.
- Leave the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They will firm up as they cool.

NUTRITIONAL INFO:
These nutritional values are provided as a guide only and may be different depending on your ingredients and measurements.
- I recommend using whey protein powder for this recipe, as this is what I use. Different protein powders absorb moisture differently, so the amount of yoghurt may need adjusting if you use plant-based or casein protein.
- The dough should be soft and easy to shape. If it looks dry or crumbly, add a little more yoghurt.
- Don't overbake the cookies, as this can make them dry.
- You can use dark, milk or dairy-free chocolate chips depending on your preference.
