Notes
This recipe is formulated for plant-based protein powder (pea protein blends), and I don't recommend substituting other protein powders in its place. We also have a whey protein pumpkin cookie recipe.
Any nut or seed butter would work in place of the cashew butter.
In place of the chocolate chips, sugar free white chocolate chips would also be a great choice!
