Ingredients for Single Serve High Protein Apple Cobbler

This healthy high protein apple cobbler is made with clean and simple ingredients for a healthy and low calorie recipe.

The Sugar Free Apple Cobbler Filling

• Fresh Sliced Apples
• Vanilla Protein Powder to sweeten the filling without sugar; I used Quest Nutrition 
• A bit of Cinnamon
• Some Lemon Juice

The High Protein Cobbler

• 1:1 Gluten Free (All Purpose) Baking Flour – or a regular all purpose flour
• Unflavored Whey-Caesin Protein Powder to replace some of the flour and make a high protein low calorie cobbler.
  I recommend the Multi-purpose mix protein powder from Quest Nutrition.
• Vanilla Whey-Caesin Protein Powder to sweeten the dough without sugar; I used Quest Nutrition here since it’s a Whey-Caesin blend.
• Non-fat Greek Yogurt
• Unsweetened Almond Milk
• A bit of Unsalted Butter (this is needed)
• Baking Powder

Tips for the perfect Protein Powder Apple Cobbler Recipe 

This no sugar apple cobbler recipe is made with protein powder in the cobbler topping and apple filling, and is quite an easy recipe too. Here’s some pointers to get it perfect though!

• Use the butter, don’t skip it!
  You want a light fluffy biscuit, and this is needed.

• Use cold yogurt so that the sugar fee apple cobbler dough does not get too sticky and hard to handle.

• Don’t over-mix the dough or it will get too warm and soft. Also, the protein powder can make the protein bread tough.

• Don’t let dough sit out for too long or it will get warm and hard to handle.

• Use wet fingers to spread dough on mini apple cobbler so doesn’t stick to your palms.

Alternatives for Single Serving Healthy Apple Cobbler

This single serving healthy apple cobbler works perfectly the ingredients (and brands) I used, but here’s some other healthy options you could try as well:

• 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour: All purpose flour or Whole Wheat Pastry Flour, with the same amount by weight, not cups.
• Unflavored Protein Powder: More flour, and reduce milk to about 1 tablespoon
• Vanilla Protein Powder: Needed, but you can use a regular whey instead of whey-caesin
  Alternatively, Lakanto 1:1 Zero Calorie Monkfruit sweetener to keep it sugar free. (code HAYLSKITCHEN gets you a discount).
• Greek Yogurt: Coconut yogurt for a dairy free recipe
• Almond Milk: Any other milk
• Butter: Dairy free butter alternative

To make Vegan Protein Apple Cobbler

Use a plant based protein powder, coconut yogurt and dairy free butter to make a Vegan single serve protein apple cobbler. ProteinWorld has a Vegan protein blend as well (HAYLSKITCHEN for the discount here too) which would be great for this single serve apple cobbler.
