A supreme Triple Fudge Air Fryer Chocolate Protein Cookie with a gooey molten chocolate center! Made with triple fudge chocolate protein powder this air fryer protein cookie is rich and indulgent, but still gluten free, sugar free and Vegan!

I think we ought to call this one a double triple chocolate fudge protein cookie.

It’s got the triple chocolate fudge flavored protein powder, but also cocoa powder and a molten chocolate center (from chocolate bar) and more chocolate chunks on top!

Pretty much just chocolate protein everywhere in this air fryer dessert recipe.

Ingredients for Air Fryer Chocolate Protein Cookie

This healthy molten lava protein cookie recipe has just a few simple ingredients, and is eggless, has no butter or oil and no sugar sugar either! A great vegan protein cookie recipe too.

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 Happy Way Triple Chocolate Fudge Whey here for an extra chocolatey flavor (code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount).
Another alternative would be Quest.
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

And then of course..

Chopped Chocolate (or Chocolate Chips) for cookies with a gooey chocolate center. I’d recommend the sugar free ones from Lakanto. The code HAYLSKITCHEN works here too.

How to make a Chocolate Protein Powder Cookie in the Air Fryer

To make one of these chocolate fudge protein powder cookies, you mix the protein cookie dough, spread it out and just bake!

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

Line air fryer basket with parchment paper.

Transfer ½ protein cookie dough on parchment paper and shape it into a big giant cookie for one.

Place chocolate piece in the middle to form the gooey chocolate center of the protein cookie.

Cover with remaining chocolate protein cookie dough and shape it into a giant molten chocolate protein cookie. Add more chocolate on top if you’d like.

Cook the air fryer cookie for 7 minutes at 275°F. Top should be lightly browned.

Lift cookie out of air fryer based using parchment paper.

Let it cool a bit, and indulge!

Can you Bake instead or Air Fry this cookie recipe?

If you don’t have an air fryer and want to use an oven instead, try my Chocolate Lava Protein Cookie instead. It’s almost the same as this one!

Alternates for this Single Serving Air Fryer Chocolate Protein Cookie

I recommend making this chocolate protein powder cookie using the ingredients and products listed – for the best air fryer protein dessert.

If you need other options for the flours and such, here’s some alternatives:

Oat flour: Use Whole wheat pastry flour or even all purpose flour. A 1:1 Gluten-free all purpose baking flour would work too. Go by the weight not cups for these substitutions.
You can try to use almond flour; I’m a little hesitant about this one, so let me know if you try it.
Chocolate Protein Powder: Use Vanilla Protein powder instead of chocolate
Peanut Butter Powder: Use 2 tsp real peanut butter, but reduce almond milk to 1½ tbsp
Almond Milk: Any other milk
Greek Yogurt: Coconut Yogurt

A Vegan Chocolate Protein Cookie Recipe

This single serve chocolate protein cookie recipe has no eggs and uses almond milk, so can easily be made Vegan too.

For a Vegan chocolate fuge protein cookie, make sure you use a plant based protein powder, coconut yogurt and dairy free chocolate.

Happy Way has a Vegan powder that would work well here (HAYLSKITCHEN for the discount here too).
