Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 scoops vanilla protein powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, and protein powder until smooth.
  3. Scoop into tablespoon-sized balls and place on your prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of a fork if you like that classic crisscross look.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until the edges are set and the tops look slightly crackled.
  5. Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • Try using almond butter or cashew butter if that’s what you have on hand.
  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt or a few dark chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
  • Use a plant-based protein powder to keep things dairy-free.
