This homemade recipe will satisfy your sweet tooth without compromising your nutritional goals. Let’s dive into creating these decadent cookies!

Ingredients:

1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1/4 cup chocolate protein powder (I use Promix vegan or whey! Code HEALTHYHELPER10 saves $!!)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup almond butter (creamy, unsweetened)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sugar-free chocolate chips (optional, for extra indulgence, I use HuKitchen! code HEALTHYHELPER saves $!)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together almond butter, Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Form Dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a thick, cookie dough-like consistency forms. If desired, fold in sugar-free chocolate chips for an extra touch of chocolatey goodness.
Shape Cookies: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out portions of dough and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands to gently flatten each portion into a cookie shape, as these cookies won’t spread much during baking.
Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set. Be careful not to overbake to keep them moist and chewy.
Cool and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy these guilt-free delights!

If you want to top them with frosting, use the recipe here and cocoa instead of pink food coloring. Then, crumble one of the cookies and sprinkle it on top of the remaining cookies.
