Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chocolate peanut butter protein powder (32g) I used PEScience
  • 1 tsp black Dutch cocoa powder (5g)
  • 1 tsp sugar free chocolate jello pudding mix (5g)
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp canned pumpkin (90g)
  • 3 tbsp egg whites (46g)
  • 1 tbsp mini chocolate chips (14g)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the protein powder, black cocoa, baking powder, and pudding mix in a medium sized mixing bowl.
  • Add in the pumpkin and egg whites and mix thoroughly; then fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Scoop the dough onto the pan using a spoon. Divide the dough evenly into 12 cookies (or however many you choose to make).
  • Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Be sure to watch carefully so you don't over-bake.
  • When cookies are done, remove from pan with a spatula and place on a cooking rack (otherwise cookies will keep baking on the hot pan).
  • Once cool, enjoy!

Notes

Macros for entire batch: 263 calories 22.8C | 7.6F | 29.2P
Keep stored in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 8 days. 
As with most of my recipes, these cookies are much better the next day (and even better the second day) once chilled and the flavors have a chance to come together.
