Ingredients
- 10 dates Soaked in warm water for 20 minutes
- ⅓ cup vegan protein powder
- ¼ shredded coconut
- ⅓ cup almond butter
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tbs avocado oil
- 2 tbs maple syrup
- 2 tbs almond milk
- 2 tbs mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Soak the dates in war water for 15 minutes then drain.
- Add the dates, maple syrup, and nut butter into a mini food processor and combine until mostly smooth.
- Mix together the baking powder, coconut, and protein powder in a small bowl.
- Add the date mixture into the bowl and then the dairy-free milk.
- Mix well.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and mix more until everything is coated.
- Use a trigger ice cream scoop to portion the cookies onto a lined cookie sheet. Press down slightly.
- Bake for 15 minutes then remove from the oven.
- They come out super soft so let them cool on the pan fully and they’ll firm up.

Notes
- The cookies don’t look done coming out of the oven. Let them cool fully before devouring them. They firm up a bit in the fridge too.
- You can sub out chocolate chips for pecans or dried fruit if you like to switch up flavors.
- Store the vegan protein cookies in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
- I like this vegan protein cookies recipe best with chocolate protein powder and peanut butter but vanilla protein powder works too.
- If you need this recipe to be nut-free, sub the nut butter out with Sunbutter instead.
- The recipe makes 10 small cookies or 8-9 medium ones. Each serving is 2 cookies.
