How to make PB & J Air Fryer Protein Cookie
Prepare Cookie Dough
Mash a ripe banana in a mixing bowl. Add the oats, powdered peanut butter, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the mashed banana. Mix the ingredients until well combined, forming a dough-like consistency. Gently fold in the frozen raspberries, adding a tangy flavor and delightful contrast to the peanut butter’s nuttiness.
Bake Protein Cookie
With your dough ready, shape it into a cookie using your hands. Place the shaped cookie on parchment paper. Now comes the baking part! You have two options: air frying the cookies at 350°F for around 8 minutes until golden or bake them at 400°F for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips for Air Fryer Protein Cookie
Protein Boost –Swap out the powdered peanut butter for your favorite protein powder for a protein punch. This simple tweak will make these PB & J cookies an ideal post-workout snack or afternoon pick-me-up.
Swap Raspberries with your favorite fruit – While raspberries bring a delightful tartness, experiment with other frozen berries like blueberries or strawberries. Each variation offers a unique twist on the classic PB & J combination.
Banana-Free Options – Don’t have ripe bananas on hand? You are still in for a treat! Swap them out with ⅓ cup of vegan yogurt for a creamy twist, or use unsweetened applesauce for a naturally sweet alternative.
Embrace the Season – Feeling autumn vibes? Transform this high-protein PB&J cookie into a fall-themed delight by substituting banana for pumpkin puree and a dash of pumpkin spice.
For a Nutrition Boost – Toss in some chopped nuts or vegan chocolate chips into the dough for extra flavor.
Can I make these gluten-free? Yes, you can! Use certified gluten-free oats to make these cookies completely gluten-free and suitable for gluten sensitivities.
