Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup brown rice flour
- 120g chocolate or vanilla protein powder (whey or vegan; don’t recommend egg protein for this one)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4–1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons MCT oil (or melted coconut oil, or avocado oil)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of peanut butter (liquid room temperature works best from a fresh jar)
- 2 tablespoons of honey
Instructions
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 and spray a standard round cake pan with coconut oil or nonstick spray.
- 2. Stir all ingredients in a large bowl until a dough forms. If the mixture seems dry (this will likely be if you’re using a firmer peanut butter), add a little extra honey or oil for texture.
- 3. Bake for 12-15 minutes until set and slightly golden around the edges.
Notes
- Make a pizookie! Serve it hot with your favorite ice cream and chocolate chips on top
