These high protein TVP pumpkin cookies are the perfect little protein snack to keep around the house. They’re significantly cheaper than any of the protein cookies at the store, and in my opinion, they taste way better too! I prefer using TVP instead of protein powder in baking because it doesn’t leave that artificial sweet taste or the gritty texture that protein powder can. Most recipes will have you re-hydrate TVP before using it, but in baking, I use it dry! This recipe is only for two servings, so feel free to double/triple it!
Ingredients
- TVP – Texture Vegetable Protein – this is a shelf-stable vegan protein source that can be found at most grocery stores, or purchased online. If you are soy-intolerant, they also make something called TPP (Textured Pea Protein) and it works great as a TVP replacement!
- Pumpkin puree – I like to use canned, but fresh works too!
- Flour – I used all-purpose, but you could also use a gluten-free option.
- Brown sugar – this is what I used to sweeten these cookies. If you are trying to reduce your sugar intake, you could use a sugar alternative.
- Vanilla
- Baking powder
- Salt – adjust to taste
- Pumpkin pie spice
Directions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.
- Mix all the ingredients together very well, using a spatula or fork.
- Split into two balls, flatten them out and lay them on a parchment-paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for 9 – 11 minutes.
- These will not be completely set when they come out of the oven, so let them cool for at least 15 minutes.
