An indulgent single serve Cheesecake Stuffed Red Velvet Protein Cookie – A red velvet protein powder cookie with a protein cheesecake filling. This protein red velvet cheesecake cookie is gluten free, sugar free, has no egg and can be made Vegan too; The perfect protein dessert!

I recently opened a pack of cream cheese to make the no bake protein cheesecake, and now I’m just trying get to all as many creative protein cheesecake recipes as I can.

A cheesecake stuffed cookie – protein cookie – was just something I had to do after all those other giant cookies I’ve been making. And what better flavor for a protein cheesecake cookie than red velvet right? That color combination especially!

Single serve red velvet cookie is now checked off my list!

Ingredients for Cheesecake Stuffed Red Velvet Protein Cookie for One

This healthy red velvet 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 here.
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.
Baking Powder
Red Food Coloring for that red velvet effect

For the Protein Cheesecake Cookie Filling

The filling for this red velvet cheesecake cookie has really healthy ingredients as well – no sugar and low fat stuff.

Reduced Fat Cream Cheese for a low fat and low calorie cheesecake cookie
Non-fat Greek Yogurt
Vanilla Protein Powder – this makes for a sugar free protein cheesecake cookie it serves as the sweetener in place of sugar.
I used ProteinWorld Whey; The ProteinWorld Slender Blend another great option.
Quest would also be an option here too.

And optionally for the topping:

White Chocolate for that red velvet and white chocolate combination.
I use sugar free white chocolate chips from ChocZero here; Lily’s is another good one.
Another sugar free regular chocolate chips option is Lakanto (HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount here) or Lily’s.

How to make a Single Serve Red Velvet Protein Powder Cookie

To make one of these giant red velvet protein powder cookies, you mix the protein cookie dough, spread it out, add the filling, and just bake! A simple cheesecake stuffed cookie!

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Mix your cookie ingredients – oat flour, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, peanut butter powder, almond milk, Greek yogurt, food coloring and baking powder – in a bowl.

Mix the protein cheesecake cookie filling ingredients – low fat cream cheese, Greek yogurt and vanilla protein powder – in another bowl.

Spread ½ red velvet protein cookie dough onto the baking sheet in a round cookie shape.

Spred the cream cheese mixture in the middle to form the cheesecake stuffed cookie.

Cover with remaining chocolate protein cookie dough and shape it into a giant red velvet cheesecake protein cookie for one.

Bake for 13-14 min. You might need a minute extra; make sure the top is completely dry to touch.

Let it cool a bit, and indulge!

You can try to use almond flour; I’m a little hesitant about this one, so let me know if you try it.
