BEST High-Protein Chocolate Breakfast Cookies
These high-protein chocolate breakfast cookies are one of those recipes you make once, and then everyone immediately asks for them again. They look like dessert, taste like dessert, and yet somehow work perfectly as a real breakfast or snack. That’s my favorite kind of recipe: the sneaky good ones that feel like a treat but actually do something for you.
Servings: 14 cookies
Calories: 200kcal
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 cup creamy almond butter or ½ almond butter + ½ peanut butter
- ¼ cup almond milk unsweetened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup protein powder chocolate, caramel or vanilla
- ¼ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup flaxseed meal
- ½ cup sweetener powdered
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup flaked almonds
- 2 tbsp shredded coconut unsweetened
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips optional, but highly recommended
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C / 360°F. Line a baking tray with parchment.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, almond butter, almond milk, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix just until everything comes together. Don’t overmix.
- Fold in nuts, coconut, and chocolate chips.
- Scoop large cookies (2–3 tbsp each), flatten slightly.
- Bake 10–12 minutes. Centers should look soft, not wet.
- Let the cookies cool completely. They’ll firm up and get that perfect texture as they cool.
