Dessert? Snack? Post-workout fuel? All of the above. These buckeye brownie cookies are soft, sweet, & secretly packed with 30g protein. If you skip the icing, they aren’t super sweet so add 1/4 cup monk fruit blend sweetener or allulose. Hope you love these! They’ve been so good every afternoon with a creamy coffee as a feel-good treat.
Wet ingredients :
1 c pumpkin puree or cooked sweet potato (can’t taste promise & yay for vitamin A)
1/2 c liquid egg whites
1 c nonfat Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cake batter extract
Dry Ingredients :
2/3 c The Peachie Sppon Chocolate Protein or The Peachie Spoon Cookies and Cream Protein Powder
1/2 c coconut flour
2 T cocoa or cacao powder (unsweetened)
2 tsp baking soda
STEPS
1)In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients and stir. Add dry ingredients and stir to combine.
2)On a large lined sheet pan, form into 6 large cookie shapes. Mine were about 1/2 cup of batter a piece. If you have an XL sheet pan, use that.
3)Bake at 375° for 12-15 minutes. Place on a cookie rack to cool. After cooling, make icing below and spread evenly on cooled cookies. Store in the fridge for up to a week. I like to microwave mine for 15-20 seconds before enjoying. They freeze well too!
PEANUT BUTTER ICING
8 oz block reduced fat cream cheese, room temp so set on counter for a bit
1/4 c nonfat Greek vanilla yogurt
3 T monk fruit or sweetener of choice (used @swervesweetie confectioners but granulated works too)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 c pb powder
Stir ingredients in a bowl and spread over cooked and cooled cookies. If desired, melt and drizzle dark chocolate chips over iced cookies.

How many ounces of pumpkin or sweet potato puree? I’m wondering if it’s the standard 15 ox can or a larger one. Thanks!

This recipe calls for 1 cup pumpkin puree so that’s (240 g)
Would Oat flour be an acceptable substitute?

You can swap flour BUT coconut is super absorbent so 1/4 c coconut flour = 1 c oat flour so keep that in mind and of course there will be less fiber and more carbs/calories. But no biggie!
Would these be ok to make in muffin shape? If I didn’t want to use protein powder would I just do flour instead?

Search 🔍 muffins on my site. I have so many muffin recipes that will work better with great macros.
For the protein powder, it’s the only sweetener in this cookie so it won’t be sweet at all. Not sure it’ll work.
Can you substitute the cake batter extract with a different extract?
