Peanut Butter Protein Cookies are delicious treats to add to my collection of Sweet Recipes, cookies prepared in just a few minutes that you can bake in a traditional oven, microwave, or air fryer.
After buying a good amount of almond flour to prepare my Almond Shortcrust Pastry, I decided to use some of it to make these egg-free and lactose-free peanut butter cookies.
The protein cookies are part of my protein recipes like the Oat Flour and Greek Yogurt Pancakes, all the Sweet and Savory Recipes with Greek Yogurt, the Homemade Protein Buns, and the Fit Tiramisu Cup.

Ingredients

- 1 1/4 cups cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup cup maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1 pinch salt
How to Make Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
Place the almond flour in a large bowl.
Add the peanut butter and maple syrup.
Mix everything with a spoon to obtain a soft dough, sticky but well combined.
With an ice cream scoop, or using slightly damp hands, scoop out pieces about 0.8 oz and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
To shape them, I decided to create lines with the tines of a fork.
Proceed in the same way until the dough is finished.
Once you have finished preparing the cookies on the baking sheet, you can decide how to bake them.
You can bake the peanut butter protein cookies in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 10/12 minutes.
Alternatively, you can bake them in an air fryer at 340°F for 8/10 minutes.
Or, in the microwave using the combined microwave+grill function for 12 minutes.
Once baked, let them cool completely before serving them with melted dark chocolate.
How to Store Peanut Butter Protein Cookies
Store the peanut butter protein cookies at room temperature for up to a week.
