Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • ½ cup Rice Krispies Cereal (13g)
  • ¼ cup Mini Marshmallows (11g)
  • 2 Tbsp Vanilla Protein Powder (11g)
  • 2 Tbsp Peanut Butter Powder (12g)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp Creamy Peanut Butter (14g)
  • 1 Tbsp Maple flavor Syrup (Sugar-free recommended, 15ml)

Instructions

  1. Soften Peanut Butter and Marshmallows: Place the peanut butter and mini marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute in 30-second intervals, stirring lightly between intervals until the mixture is softened and slightly melted.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Add the Rice Krispies cereal, vanilla protein powder, and peanut butter powder to the softened peanut butter and marshmallow mixture. Pour in the maple flavor syrup gradually while mixing to combine all ingredients thoroughly and form a cohesive dough.
  3. Shape the Cookie: Once the mixture is well combined, shape it into a cookie form using your hands. No baking is required; the cookie is ready to enjoy immediately or can be chilled for a firmer texture.

Notes

  • Use sugar-free maple syrup for a lower sugar option.
  • Microwave times may vary depending on wattage; watch closely to avoid burning marshmallows.
  • You can substitute peanut butter powder with regular peanut butter but reduce the creamy peanut butter accordingly to maintain texture.
  • Chill the cookie in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes if you prefer a firmer consistency.
