This gluten-free protein powder peanut butter cookie has all of the great taste of a traditional peanut butter cookie, but none of the guilt. Takes just a few minutes to mix together a batch of warm, yummy cookies.
These Protein Peanut Butter Cookies are gluten-free, low carb, and delish.
I love to keep these Protein Peanut Butter Cookies on hand (usually in the freezer!) for a satisfying sweet bite.
They are flour-less, sugar-free, gluten-free, and low carb.
Even though they are super simple to make - about 20 minutes from start to finish - there are some tips to make the cookies turn out great.
Choose a high quality smooth, no-sugar-added peanut butter.
Using regular ol’ Jif or Skippy peanut butter (with added oils and sugar) will work. You’ll have a delicious cookie, but you will have extra sugar. I like to use a no-sugar added peanut butter like Kirkland Organic Creamy Peanut Butter, or Crazy Richard’s Non-GMO Creamy Peanut Butter. (I order my peanut butter straight from Amazon, but you can find good quality brands at most local grocery stores. Take a peek in the health food section if you don’t see no-sugar added peanut butter with the regular brands.
Choose a delicious, sweetened vanilla or peanut butter flavored protein powder.
I cannot emphasize enough - choose a delicious brand of protein powder. You know, the kind you would drink mixed with only water.
Plain hemp, pea protein, or unflavored collagen protein will not give you a fantastic result.
My go-to protein powder for this recipe is Vanilla Ice Cream flavor Syntha-6 whey protein. I use it in this recipe and also in my No-Bake Protein Peanut Butter Balls recipe.
Protein Peanut Butter Cookies freeze well.
Maybe it’s just me, but I have a hard time using moderation when I have fresh-baked cookies, even if they are reasonably healthy.
Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
Or freeze for up to two months. Be sure to use a hard plastic, airtight container so your cookies don’t get broken.

This gluten-free protein powder peanut butter cookie has all of the great taste of a traditional peanut butter cookie, but none of the guilt.
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1-1/3 cups vanilla or peanut butter flavored protein powder (I use Syntha-6 Vanilla Ice Cream flavor and purchase it on Amazon)
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the eggs, protein powder, peanut butter, and vanilla. Mix well until a ball of dough forms.
- Use a 1 ounce (medium) cookie scoop to scoop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. (If you don't have a cookie scoop, form about 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball and place on cookie sheet.
- Using a fork, press gently on each cookie to slightly flatten it, forming a criss-cross pattern.
- Bake 10-12 minutes until the cookies are set. They will be soft, but will firm up as they cool.
- Allow cookies to cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes:
Store cookies in airtight container for up to one week. Cookies can be frozen for up to two months. Package cookies in a plastic, airtight container to avoid breakage. Label with cookie type and date frozen.
