Mexican Hot Chocolate Protein Cookie – Spicy and Good for You!
This Mexican Hot Chocolate Protein Cookie with marshmallows is just so good, but good for you! A healthy hot chocolate cookie with the spicy Mexican flavor and sweetened with protein powder; Vegan option too!
I really want to keep this one big single serve protein cookie a week thing going, and after just falling in love with the molten lava one from last week…
Well I really wanted to another chocolate protein cookie, and then I saw my bag of marshmallows.
I think we can agree that a spicy high protein Mexican hot chocolate cookie with marshmallows is worth the try!
Ingredients for Mexican Hot Chocolate Protein Cookie for One
This healthy Mexican hot chocolate protein cookie recipe has just a few simple ingredients, and is eggless, has no butter or oil and no sugar sugar either!
- Oat Flour – You can make your own by blending rolled oats in a high speed blender
- Chocolate Protein Powder for high protein cookie that’s also sugar free.
- I used Quest chocolate protein powder since it’s sweetened with Stevia.
- My other go-tos are ProteinWorld Whey and ProteinWorld Slender Blend (code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount on both.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder or Cacao Powder
- Peanut Butter Powder, also known as Powdered Peanut Butter. I recommend Lakanto for a sugar free version (the code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount). Or you could use the one from PbFit too.
- Non-fat Greek Yogurt contributes to the oil-free part of these chocolate protein cookies since it adds the moisture, and also extra protein
- Almond Milk to give the soft cookie a slightly cakey feel, and keep it dairy free.
- Mexican Hot Chocolate Spices: Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Cayenne Pepper
- Baking Powder
And then of course..
- Mini Marshmallows for the hot chocolate cookie effect!
- Chopped Chocolate (or Chocolate Chips): I’d recommend the sugar free ones from Lakanto. The code HAYLSKITCHEN works here too.
