One, two, THREE ingredients is all you need to make these delicious and easy Protein Cookies! The best part? We’re going to make them multiple ways so you’ll never get bored.

All you need for this one? A small mixing bowl and something to mix your ingredients with. A hand mixer will make this easier (linked below) but it’s not needed.

3 Ingredients

For our first set of protein cookies you’ll need a ripe banana. Add that into your bowl and mash it up with a fork.

Continue in that bowl with 20 grams of a good tasting protein powder and 1/4 cup of some powdered peanut butter.

That’s it! Mix all of those together until smooth.

From here, take out a baking sheet and line it with some optional parchment paper. Drop your mix onto it making your protein cookies however big you want them.

The biggest thing for me with these, which is also completely optional, is that I like adding a different texture to the top. Some of those textures?

Protein Cookie Toppings

• Raisins
• Nuts
• Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
• Regular Chocolate Chips
• M&M’s
• Fresh Fruit (chopped up)
• Sprinkles
• Protein Puffs

Put your cookies into the oven on 350F/176C for around 8-12 minutes depending on how big you made them.

Pro tip! Make sure to keep an eye on them, it’s better to pull them out too early than too late.

There’s your first 3 ingredient protein cookie base. Some of my other favorite bases?

Pumpkin Protein Cookies

Mix together 1/2 cup of pumpkin, 20 grams of protein powder, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of rolled oats.

The flavor protein powder you use should be decided by the other flavors within the recipe, make sure it compliments them and you’ll be good to go.

I like to top these with chopped up walnuts.

Shape and bake them on 350F/176C for around 8-12 minutes depending on how big you made them.

Avocado Chocolate Protein Cookies

These cookies are DELICIOUS and low carb/keto friendly cookies!

Mix together 1 ripe avocado, 20 grams of protein powder, 10 grams of cocoa powder, and 1/4 cup of almond flour.

Avocado is a great neutral base, you really can’t taste it at all when combined with the other ingredients.

I like to top these with sugar free chocolate chips.

Shape and bake them on 350F/176C for around 8-12 minutes depending on how big you made them.
