Double Chocolate Cookies

I love how many people have been making my Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies! I cannot tell you how much I enjoy seeing people post a beautiful plate of cookies on social media after trying my recipe. 

Seeing my cookies everywhere was making me crave a plate! I decided to mix it up a little and use my original recipe to make some Double Chocolate Cookies!

Oh boy did they turn out good!

You will need the following...

MTS Chocolate Whey, canned pumpkin, canned white beans, egg substitute, vanilla, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, white chocolate chips, and sweetener of choice.

If you want to try baking with MTS Whey, order here!

Use code KH30 to save 30%

Drain and rinse your beans first.

Add beans, pumpkin, egg, and vanilla to a blender or food processor and puree smooth. 

If you need to, add a little milk or more egg to get it all blended. 

Does it look like chocolate cookie dough yet? No...ok...

Mix in the protein powder, cocoa, baking powder, and sweetener. 

Be sure to use cute little portioning bowls so you feel like you have your own cooking show!

Now THAT looks like chocolate cookie dough!!

Add in your white chocolate chips.  You can add a lot...or a little...I like a lot!

The batter will be pretty wet and sticky so just do drop cookies.  

I highly recommend using a baking mat or parchment paper. 

Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes and wait for the chocolatey goodness!

Heaven on a plate!! 

Each cookie is only 35 calories so feel free to eat more than one!

In fact, the whole plate is only 425 calories! You are also getting 34 grams of protein.  

Healthy AND delicious!! Yes, it is possible!

In case you are skeptical, I promise you cannot taste the beans or the pumpkin.  All you will taste is chocolate amazingness!

Butternut Squash Cookies

Fall is coming! Fall is coming!! I love everything about Fall.  The smells, the colors, and the food! I know the pumpkin craze always takes over, but what about the squash craze?! 

Butternut Squash Cookies! That's what I'm talkin about!

These couldn't be easier to make.  You will need the following:

MTS Vanilla whey, frozen squash puree, egg substitue, any type of flour, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and sweetener of choice.  

*Of course you can use fresh squash. Just chop it up, steam, and puree*

*Feel free to try other brands of protein, but I cannot guarantee the same results*

 Any type of flour will work for this recipe.  I really like using oat flour.  Don't waste your money buying it from the store though! 

Just take some regular oats and grind them in a blender or food processor.  Ta-Da! Oat flour.

If you are using the frozen squash, we gotta defrost it somehow.  You can microwave it, cook it, or just sit in in a tupperware overnight.  

I like to cook it on the stove because it seems to get rid of some of the extra water and moisture.  

You could even use baby food for this recipe! 

That is basically what we have here...

Stir in the rest of your ingredients.  

Feel free to add other spices such as nutmeg, ginger, or cloves.  You could also add some dark chocolate or white chocolate chips! Maybe some raisins or nuts? Get creative! I bet cinnamon protein powder would be super tasty too.

The batter will be pretty wet so we are just going to do drop cookies on the baking mat.  

If you don't have a silicon baking mat, parchment paper will work.  If you must use non stick spray be sure to coat that pan very well!

Into the oven which is preheated at 350 for about 15 minutes. 

Ahh...the house smells like Fall wonderfulness! 

Wanna know the best part about these cookies?! Not only are they super tasty, but they are also super healthy! Yup, all 12 cookies for only 245 calories.  

You also get 3g Fat, 29g Carb, and 24g Protein.  

They are super soft from the squash.  The cinnamon and vanilla go great with the flavor of the butternut squash.  

These would be fantastic with a little fat free cream cheese or peanut butter in between two cookies! 

Honestly, they don't even need anything extra though.  They are perfection! 

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?! Cookies for breakfast again! Go ahead and make a double batch because these guys freeze great! I have two bags in my freezer right now waiting to be devoured this week.

 If you have never tried baking with protein powder, what are you waiting for?! It is such a great way to get some more protein in your diet.  It can be a good sub for flour in a lot of recipes too!

I absolutely love baking with MTS Whey.  You can order MTS here and use code KH30 to save 30% Give it a try! I am sure you will not be dissapointed!

*What is your favorite thing about Fall?

Isn't a Cupcake just a Muffin with frosting??

What is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake? Isn't a cupcake really just a muffin with frosting? So I don't know what you want to call these treats... Vanilla Muffins? 

If you use a different flavor of whey and put a shmear of frosting on top, they magically become Cookies & Cream Cupcakes? 

Either way, they are delicious! 

You will need...

Protein powder flavor of your choice, oat bran, unsweetened almond milk, plain nonfat greek yogurt, egg substitute, vanilla, baking powder, and sweetener of choice.  

*You can sub any flour for the oat bran*

I recommend using MTS whey.  It bakes great and you can use any of the tasty flavors in this recipe.  Use code KH30 to save 30% and order here.

You know me, I like to keep things simple! Throw all your ingredients in one bowl and mix it up. 

I really like using the oat bran for muffins.  It seems to make them a little more hearty and substantial.  Feel free to use any type of flour instead.  I do like oat flour for the cupcakes. 

Pour your batter into muffin cups.  I love these silicon baking cups!

Bake at 350 for 22-25 minutes. 

They smell amazing!! 

Now remember, you can make these as muffins or cupcakes.  

 If you want a fantastic high protein breakfast, then these Vanilla Muffins are perfect! They also freeze well so feel free to make a double or triple batch.  

And yes, all six muffins are considered one serving! The entire batch is only 260 calories! Plus you are getting 30 grams of protein.  Can you say that about your store bought muffin?? Didn't think so...

In more of a desserty mood? Let's make some cupcakes! Get creative with the flavors. I followed the same recipe, but used MTS Cookies & Cream whey this time.  

Yes, these could be Cookies & Cream Muffins, but I am ready for dessert! 

Let's mix up a batch of my favorite frosting! So easy.  Just mix together some fat free cream cheese, about 1 T of protein powder, and sweetener of choice.  

I love this as a dip or spread too! So creamy! You can also get crazy and add a little cinnamon, cocoa powder, or some flavored extract.    

Shmear a little on top and you got yourself one tasty treat! Healthy too!

You can enjoy six frosted cupcakes for about 360 calories 5F 40C 49P.

Dessert for breakfast? Yes please! 

You can also make 3 cupcakes and 3 muffins! This recipe is so versatile and customizable! 

Now go make some muffins and then turn them into cupcakes...

And eat them all!!

 Vanilla Protein Muffins 

Cookies & Cream Cupcakes

Caramel Butterscotch Blondies

Caramel, butterscotch, and white chocolate...do I need to say anything else?! Didn't think so!

Let's get baking! 

You will need...

MTS Caramel Sutra whey, garbanzo/chick peas, canned pumpkin, egg substitute, vanilla, baking powder, sweetener, white chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips.

*If you don't have MTS caramel whey, you could sub any vanilla protein powder*

*Any white bean will work*

Add your beans, egg, and vanilla to a blender and puree.

If you need to, you can add a little water, milk, or more egg to get everything to blend smoothly. 

Stir in everything but the chips.  Pour batter into a sprayed baking dish.  I used a 5x7 dish which gives the bars a perfect thickness.  If you use a bigger pan you will just have to adjust the baking time.  Feel free to double the recipe to make more!

Add as much white chocolate and butterscotch chips as you like!! You could even mix some in the batter.  Into the oven at 350 for 2-25 minutes.

Shh...I snuck a handful or two to snack on while the bars were baking...

Feel free to get creative! You can add dark chocolate, milk chocolate, nuts...

I love how the chips get a little melty on top!

Now, would you believe me if I told you that this whole dish is only 345 calories?! 

Well you should because I never rarely tell a lie!

Yup, not only are these bars delicious and easy to make, they are also good for you!

I will easily eat all 6 bars for breakfast! The entire batch will give you 8F 38C 33P.

That means each bar is only about 58 calories! If you can stop after just one, you have some crazy good will powder!

 The MTS Caramel Sutra really is perfect for this recipe!

You can order some here.  

Use code KH30 and save 30%

Don't worry if you don't have any Caramel Sutra whey though...

I have made these bars with vanilla, chocolate, pumpkin, and cinnamon protein powder!! All of them have been amazing! So go grab whatever protein you have, and get busy!

MTS Whey

Anyone that follows my blog or YouTube channel knows that I use a lot of protein powder in my recipes! I am a vegetarian and it is sometimes difficult to make sure I have enough protein in my diet.  High protein cookies, muffins, and pancakes are the perfect way for me to meet my protein goals each day.  With all the different protein powder brand out there, you may be wondering what my favorite kind is! 

I have tried a lot of different brands! Some of those include Jay Robb, Abouttime, Dymatize, FitMiss, Muscle Milk, Gold Standard, and Isopure.  They have all been good, but nothing compared to MTS!

In my opinion, MTS Nutrition has the best protein powder.  It tastes great and bakes great too!  Right now they carry five different flavors.  I hear they are coming out with two new ones very soon though! I am super excited about that!

The flavors include Chocolate, Vanilla, Cookies & Cream, Peanut Butter Fluff, and Caramel Sutra.  

The Cookies & Cream is hands down the best tasting protein powder I have ever had!

 Just mixed with water, this shake tastes like liquid Oreos! No joke! 

One scoop has 153 calories 3.5F 6C 25P.

Peanut Butter Fluff would have to be my second favorite.  Also makes a super tasty shake! Anything peanut buttery is always a winner in my book.  

One scoop is 140 calories 2F 4C 25P.  I really love how this protein has a whopping 25 grams of protein per scoop! The main reason I use protein powder is obviously for the protein so the more the merrier!

Caramel Sutra is probably tied for second, but since it is newer, I haven't been able to experiment with it quite as much.  How amazing does caramel protein sound?!

Ya, it tastes amazing too! Not too sweet, but you can defiantly taste the caramel goodness.  One scoop is 150 calories 2F 4C 25P. 

You gotta love the classics.  Chocolate and Vanilla.  

The Chocolate has such a great flavor.  Nice and smooth.  All of the powders dissolve great which is very important to me.  Nobody likes a clumpy lumpy shake! One scoop gives you 150 calories 4F 5C 25P.  I love how all the flavors are very low in fat and carbs.  

One scoop of Vanilla has 150 calories 3.5F 5C 25P.  This might be my favorite flavor to bake with.

  Not too sweet, not artificial tasting at all, and you can mix it with just about anything!! I have used it in sweet and savory dished and they have all been great! 

Make your cupcakes high protein with my Vanilla Cupcake Recipe.

I could keep going with the Peanut Butter Fluff, but let's move on to the Chocolate! Since I still have peanut butter on the brain, let's combine some Chocolate whey with some flavored peanut butter and makes some Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies! 

In case you had any doubt, peanut butter and chocolate go together like peas and carrots! Only much better because peanut butter and chocolate are better than veggies... Yup, I got the recipe for you right here!

Lots of different variations with this recipe too! Try all different flavors of peanut butter and protein! Endless possibilities!

Yup! More cupcakes! Does it get much better than Cookies & Cream Cupcakes!? No, no it doesn't!

I could go on, and on, and on with all the goodies I have made with these wonderful flavors of protein! You will have to check out my recipe index on my blog and my YouTube channel for more!

To sum it up, MTS Nutrition has the best tasting, mixing, and baking protein powder I have tried so far! 

The macros are great and each flavor comes in a ginormous 5 pound tub! So when you buy some, you know it is going to last for quite some time.  Definitely worth the investment.
