Ingredients

  • 36g Elevate Protein Flour (¼ cup)
  • 36g chocolate protein powder (1 scoop, ~⅓ cup)
  • 10g cocoa powder (2 tbsp)
  • 45g brown sugar replacement (¼ cup)
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt (⅛–¼ tsp)
  • 35g peanut butter (2 tbsp)
  • 30g butter, melted (2 tbsp)
  • 20g sugar-free chocolate chips (2 tbsp)
  • 50g unsweetened applesauce (3 tbsp)

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together:
    Elevate flour
    Chocolate protein powder
    Cocoa powder
    Baking soda
    Salt
    Brown sugar replacement
  3. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine:
    Butter
    Peanut butter
    Chocolate chips
  4. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  5. Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients.
  6. When halfway combined, add applesauce and fold until just incorporated.
    ⚠️ Do not overmix.
  7. For thicker, fudgier cookies, chill dough 30+ minutes (or overnight). For softer cookies, bake immediately.
  8. Fold in chocolate chips
  9. Roll into balls, place on parchment, and flatten slightly.
  10. Bake about 7 minutes — edges should be set while centers remain soft.
  11. Let rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring. They will continue setting as they cool.
