I’ve always liked making Peanut Butter Protein Cookies, but my old recipe had a lot of ingredients, and too much sugar for a supposedly “healthy” cookie. My goal this weekend was to create a new version with a simpler ingredient list, very little sugar and — plot twist — no whey protein powder. It cranks up my migraine symptoms, so I’ve switched to pure peanut powder. And I didn’t want to use eggs either, so these are also egg-free. <\/p>\n

These protein cookies are easy and a lot of fun because you just stir everything together. Their texture is soft and crumbly, and they are not terribly sweet, but rather very strong on peanut butter. The cookies are going to be different from kitchen to kitchen based on the brand of peanut butter and type of sweetener. Picking the right sweetener was tough!<\/p>\n

Sweetening Peanut Butter Protein Cookies<\/h2>\n

First, I tested with brown sugar. As usual, it was the best. Next up was Truvia Sweet & Complete Brown. My taste tester (Todd) liked the Truvia, but I didn’t love the cool mouth effect. They did have the best texture, so if you like Truvia and are not sensitive to the aftertaste, that would be a good choice. Allulose powder was next, and as predicted the cookies came out way too soft, plus I needed almost a half cup to get any sweetness. And I did another test with Monk Fruit in the Raw, which resulted in weird textured cookies that weren’t sweet enough. When I get around to ordering some, I’ll be making the next batches with Magic Baker<\/a> or Swerve Brown<\/a>. <\/p>\n
