What is this loaded monster cookie recipe?
A monster of a cookie which is a mashup of a peanut butter cookie, oatmeal cookie, chocolate chip cookie and M&M cookie in one! Really a good mashup here.
This version is definitely a lot healthier than the regular though.
Ingredients for Single Serve Protein Monster Cookie
This healthy single serve protein monster cookie has simple ingredients, and has no butter or oil and no extra sugar either; Just the m&ms.
- Rolled Oats
- Vanilla Protein Powder for healthy protein cookie that’s also low sugar
I used Quest Nutrition Vanilla Milkshake protein powder here since its a whey-caesin blend and great for baking.
HTLT Supps is another option. - Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly low calorie protein cookie. Quest Nutrition whey-caesin again here.
- 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 or PB2 too.
- An Egg White for extra protein
- Some Peanut Butter: I used American Dream Nut Butter Monster Cookie Peanut Butter that’s higher in protein and lower in fat than normal ones!
- Unsweetened Applesauce
- Baking Powder
And then of course the mix-ins for M&M Protein Cookies:
- Chocolate Chips; I use the chips from Lakanto here (HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here too).
- M&Ms
Tips for Protein Powder Monster Cookie Recipe
This monster cookie recipe made with protein powder is a really easy dessert for one, but here’s some tips to get it perfect!
- Make sure you use Rolled Oats and NOT instant or quick oats! The latter are too fine and will make the mix to soggy.
- Use completely runny Peanut Butter so it mixes well with the oat mixture.
- Mix the ingredients completely so you get a thick cookie dough – It should be like a thick batter.
- Don’t let the oatmeal cookie mixture sit out too long or it will become too dense and make the cookie tough.
- Stop baking when top is cooked; The cookie will cook while cooling, and overbaking will make it tough.

These turned out great! I used almond butter because I didn’t have peanut butter and I also didn’t have powdered peanut butter so I just used vanilla protein powder for all of the different powder variations and that worked out. I ended up making several cookies instead of one large one because I wanted to have them for a snack before the gym, and these were perfect! The M&M version I did add vanilla extract. I also made a version with lemon extract and I used white chocolate chips!
Update* I just received both matcha and thai tea protein powder from BobaProtein and made two additional cookie flavors, and I have to say they are fantastic!
The Thai Tea cookie I did
• 1 Egg white (33ml)
• 1/4 cup Rolled oats
Canned Goods
• 1 tbsp Applesauce, Unsweetened
• 1 tbsp Protein powder, Unflavored
• 2 tbsp Thai Tea protein powder
• 1 2 tbsp almond butter (7g
• 1 tbsp black tea (ground)
• 5 g 1 tsp salted caramel chips (trader joe’s)
• 1/4 tsp Baking powder
and the Matcha follows a very similar path to the lemon white chocolate:
• 1 Egg white (33ml)
• 1/4 cup Rolled oats
Canned Goods
• 1 tbsp Applesauce, Unsweetened
• 1 tbsp Protein powder, Unflavored
• 2 tbsp Matcha Tea protein powder
• 1 2 tbsp almond butter (7g
• 1 tbsp ceremonial matcha powder
• 5 g 1 tsp white chocolate chips
• 1/4 tsp Baking powder
Love these I make them in batches and have for breakfast with fresh fruit!!
Meal prepping cookies is the way to go! Such a great idea to have it with fruit too!
