🥣 Ingredients
- Chocolate whey protein powder
- Coconut flour
- Mashed banana
- Vanilla extract
- Water
- Baking powder
👩🏼🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 325F (163C).
Mix all ingredients until well combined.
Spoon batter onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet as 4 cookies (use the back of your spoon to shape them into circles).
Bake for 5 minutes, and check to see if they are firm. If not, check every minute. Be sure not to over-bake these cookies! Take them out as soon as they are firm.
Let cool, and enjoy! Store in the refrigerator.
🥣 Substitutions
This recipe works well with whey protein, and I wouldn't try substituting other types of protein powder.
🍓 Variations
The cookie recipe would be great with any whey protein flavor!
I use this strawberry whey protein in a similar recipe for strawberry protein cookies, and this vanilla whey in these Pumpkin Pecan Protein Cookies.
🥄 Equipment
You'll need a cookie sheet. I like these Airbake cookie sheets because they keep the bottom of cookies from burning.
I suggest lining the cookie sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to keep the cookies from sticking to the pan (whey cookies have the tendency to stick!).
I also suggest using an oven thermometer so you can see when your oven is actually preheated, and that it is to the right temperature.
Of course, you're also going to need a mixing bowl. I love this mixing bowl set from Target because it is super easy to clean, dries quickly, and the bowls have rubber on the bottom so they don't slide.
And I strongly encourage you to measure ingredients with a kitchen scale instead of volume measurements.
🥶 Storage
The cookies will stay well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days.

hi Andrea - I made these last night with mini chocolate chips and quest protein powder. SO Awesome... I had the left overs for dinner. As a WLS patient, this is a great way to get my protein without the sugar or the shake (getting tired of shakes). thanks!!!
