Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 200 g clear fiber syrup (7 oz; see notes)
- 40 g sugar-free dark chocolate (1 2/5 oz)
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil (or neutral-tasting oil of choice)
- 120-160 g whey protein isolate (about 1 1/4 cups)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (170°C fan / 190°C static). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
- Place the fiber syrup and sugar-free chocolate in a large heatproof bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute.
- Stir the warm mixture until smooth and combined.
- Stir in the oil and protein powder. When it becomes too stiff to stir, switch to gloved hands and massage until a smooth dough forms. If too soft, add more protein isolate; if too dry, add a little more syrup or oil.
- Scoop out 1-2 tablespoon-sized pieces of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared tray and repeat with the remaining dough.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Leave the cookies to cool completely on the tray to crisp up.
Notes
The key is massaging the dough until truly smooth — under-worked dough bakes up grainy. Use high-quality sugar-free chocolate and whey protein isolate; with only 4 ingredients each one’s flavor shows. For dairy-free, use a plant-based protein powder and adjust liquid as needed. Add a sprinkle of sea salt, chopped nuts, or sugar-free chips, or flavor with vanilla, almond, or peppermint extract. Store airtight at room temperature up to 1 week, in the fridge up to 2 weeks, or freeze up to 3 months with parchment between layers.
