Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Protein Cookies

These chocolate chip pumpkin protein protein cookies need just a few healthy ingredients, no butter or oil and no sugar either! A great gluten free protein cookie cake too.

Vanilla Protein Powder for healthy, sugar free pumpkin cookie
I used Quest Nutrition Vanilla whey-casein since it works best for baking.
Pure Pumpkin Puree – either from the can like libbys, or homemade. Make sure its not pumpkin pie filling though.
Pumpkin Cheesecake flavored Peanut Butter Powder (peanut powder), or regular
I used Pumpkin Cheesecake Flavored PB Co peanut powder.
For a regular version I’d recommend Lakanto (code HAYLSKITCHEN gives you a discount) or PbFit or PB2 too.
Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
Zero Calorie Brown Sugar – This is the Brown Monkfruit 1:1 Sugar Substitute from Lakanto, and keeps this recipe sugar free; (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here)
Coconut Flour
An Egg
Almond Butter
Baking Soda

And for the mix-ins:

Chocolate Chips; I recommend the ones from Lily’s or Lakanto here (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a Lakanto discount)

Tips for Pumpkin Spice Protein Cookies

This pumpkin spice protein cookie recipe is super easy, but heres’ some tips to get it perfect every time.

Use whey-caesin protein powder since it works well with the ratio of ingredients here; Whey absorbs less moisture, so you would have to reduce the amount of pumpkin puree in this case.

Shape cookie mixture on pan – cookies will spread, but not very much
Leave space between cookies, since they will spread.

Use room temperature ingredients so they mix well.

These homemade pumpkin pie cookies can be stored on the countertop, in the fridge or even frozen.

Pumpkin protein powder cookies keep on the countertop for 1-2 days, and in the fridge for 5 days (in an airtight container).
