High Protein Keto Flourless Fudge Cookies

High Protein Keto Flourless Fudge Cookies - recipe card
Print Recipe

These rich, fudgy cookies are naturally flourless and packed with protein, thanks to a combination of whey protein powder, almond butter, and eggs. The result is a decadent, chocolatey treat that’s crisp at the edges and soft in the center, with only 2g net carbs per cookie.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (128g) creamy unsweetened almond butter
  • 1/3 cup (40g) chocolate whey protein powder
  • 1/4 cup (20g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup (48g) granulated erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (45g) sugar-free dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond butter, erythritol, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
  2. Add the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until a thick, glossy dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using.
  3. Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoons (about 2 tbsp each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. You should get about 12 cookies. Gently flatten each mound with the back of a spoon or your fingers to about 1/2-inch thickness, as they won’t spread much during baking.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Do not overbake; the cookies will firm up as they cool. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat: Enjoy cold or at room temperature. For a warm treat, microwave a cookie for 10-15 seconds. For a protein boost, serve with a scoop of vanilla whey protein ice cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
