Sugar-Free High-Protein Peanut Butter Cookies

These high protein cookies are the perfect answer to your sweet tooth, a quick and easy post-workout snack, and are kid approved! You can also use almond butter in place of peanut butter. I made these cookies last Friday and they were gone by bedtime.

Sugar-Free High-Protein Peanut Butter Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup peanut butter

1 Scoop vanilla protein powder

 

Directions:

  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a medium sized bowl mix the monk fruit and protein powder. I use a wooden spoon but you can use an electric mixer as well.
