Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  • Add the flour, protein powder, cocoa powder, ground flaxseed, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl, mix to combine, and set aside.
  • Whisk the eggs together in a separate large bowl, then add the olive oil and whisk for 30 seconds. Now add the coconut sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla extract and whisk for a further 30 seconds.
  • Add ½ cup of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and fold through until well combined. Now add the remaining flour and chocolate chips and fold the mixture to form a cookie dough.
  • Divide the cookie dough to make 12 even-sized cookies. Place the cookies onto the baking sheet and place into the hot oven to bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, and set the cookies onto a wire rack to cool a little before serving.
