Ingredients
250g All-Natural Peanut Butter - 2 large eggs
225g 100% Coconut Oil - 200g coconut sugar
- 75g dark or milk chocolate chips
- 100g flour
150g Vanilla Impact Whey Protein
Method
- First, place the peanut butter into a bowl and put it into the fridge to firm up.
- Then, mix the coconut oil and sugar in a large bowl until smooth, then add the eggs.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and protein powder. Then gradually add this dry mixture into the other bowl of wet ingredients, stirring to mix well.
- Once mixed, stir in the chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with cling film and chill for 30 minutes. While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 190°C.
- Remove the cookie dough and peanut butter from the fridge. Using your hands, roll balls of cookie dough (they should be around the size of golf balls) and then on a baking tray flatten them into discs about 1-1.5cm thick.
- Add a teaspoon of peanut butter to the middle of each disc, then fold over the dough so that it covers the peanut butter entirely.
- Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Once the time is up, leave to cool for 2-3 minutes – then enjoy!
