After I made my Chocolate Chia Protein Pudding, I had all these extra raspberries. I had already eaten the ugly ones, and the rest were just staring at me. So I turned them into Raspberry Coconut Protein Cookies. :)
The recipe is quite easy. And if you're a fan of all things coconut, you probably already have the coconut flour, coconut butter, and shredded coconut in your pantry.
Just like the pomegranate seeds in my Pomegranate Chipotle Protein Fudge, the raspberry seeds in these cookies are little bursts of flavor! I was never really into raspberries, but I absolutely love these cookies!
These Raspberry Coconut Protein Cookies are so good, I didn't even want to share any. (I did share, but I didn't want to!)
Give them a try!

Ingredients
- ⅓ cup natural vanilla whey protein powder 31g
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour 7g

- 2 tablespoons coconut butter softened (32g)
- ½ cup raspberries 62g
- 1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut (7.5g)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F (163C).
- Mix whey protein, coconut flour, and water.
- Add coconut butter, and mix well.
- Fold in raspberries. Let them break into seeds, but try not to break them down further.
- Fold in shredded coconut.
- Drop spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined pan.
- Bake at 325F (163C) for about 12 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Notes
A note about substitutions: You can probably substitute vanilla rice protein powder for the whey, and make a vegan version. The cookies will likely be less cake-like, and more dense.

Hi Amanda,
Yes, if it is solid you'd want to warm it so it is more like a nut butter consistency. Hope that helps!

Hi there! Just wondering about the coconut butter... Did you soften it before mixing it in? It's a little hard at room temperature
Andréa
Hi Karla,
In general, yes, but you may need more spelt flour than coconut flour. Coconut flour is very drying, so you may need up to twice as much spelt flour. I've never used spelt flour so I can't say for sure what the conversion would be. Let me know how it goes if you try! And thanks for writing in!

was wondering in most of your recipes it calls for coconut flour which Iam not a fan of. Could I sub spelt flour for the coconut flour?

Hi Molly,
Almond butter would be a good substitute, but not coconut oil. Oil would be too thin and runny. Enjoy!
