About Vegava Protein 

Vegava is a new brand of protein that I just recently discovered and is the protein I used in this recipe. What I love about this protein is that it is 100% vegan and all-natural. The protein is made with a combination of

All of these natural ingredients provide muscle-building protein, along with amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. If you're vegan, you probably know how valuable a quality protein powder can be when adding to recipes like this as when you are eating a vegan diet or any diet, you know how important it is to ensure you are getting the right amount of protein. That's why I love adding protein into baking, or my recipes when I can to get that extra boost. 

Vegava has a variety of different blends to choose from but for this recipe I used their Premium Vegan Protein in the chocolate flavour to get that sweet and delicious flavour you love in cookies. Oh and I almost forgot to mention one of the other things I love about this product, IT COMES IN COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING!!! 

How to make Vegan Protein Cookies 

This recipe is super simple and only takes X minutes to make. All you have to do is mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl, and then in a separate bowl, mix all the wet ingredients. Then mix both bowls of ingredients together well so the cookie dough is well blended and smooth before you dollop the dough onto the baking sheet to bake these bad boys up for X minutes.

This recipe for Vegan Protein Cookies is made to be super simple so you can whip them up in no time and not feel as guilty about indulging in a cookie. These definitely aren't super healthy, but they're way healthier than a cookie you'd reach for that was bought from the grocery store and offers no protein.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup almond flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup room temperature vegan butter

2/3 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup coconut sugar

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

2 vegan egg replacements

1 cup vegan chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350F and line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Into a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, protein powder, baking soda and salt. Use a whisk to combine and remove any clumps.

Into a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the vegan butter, sugars, vanilla and egg.

Gradually beat in the flour till well combined and gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Transfer mixture into a medium-sized bowl and let sit in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Use a 1 tbsp. ice cream scoop to measure and round the cookies.  Place 12 cookies onto each baking sheet and bake for 9 minutes.  Cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes before placing on cooling racks to cool completely.

Note: They will seem uncooked at 9 minutes but trust me you want to remove them now so they remain gooey and soft in the center.
