Although I thoroughly enjoy a good savory recipe, this is my passion: fun recipes that look and feel like dessert, but are nutritious enough for any meal. I’ve compiled some of my favorite high-protein desserts in a few different categories. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
COOKIE dOUGH & Cookies
This Protein Cookie Dough is probably my all-time favorite and most-made recipe! It’s superior to all other cookie dough recipes I have yet to find, as it’s single-serving, low-calorie, customizable, and requires just five simple ingredients.
If birthday cake is more your style, or you just want to switch it up from chocolate chip once in a while, try my 5-Minute Birthday Cake Protein Cookie Dough. At around 300 calories and a whopping 30 grams of protein, you can’t go wrong with this fun recipe!
Prefer a baked cookie over cookie dough? No problem! This gooey, crispy-on-the-outside Giant Single Serve Protein Chocolate Chip Cookie is packed with protein, low sugar and macro-friendly!
pUMPKIN dESSERTS
Craving a giant cookie but don’t want to eat 1,000 calories in one sitting? This Big Protein Pumpkin Cookie is your answer. Simple ingredients, high-protein, low-sugar, and super delicious!
Pumpkin is not just for fall, and this Protein Pumpkin Mug Cake is here to prove it! It whips up quick in the microwave and is satisfying for breakfast or anytime of day!
fRUITY oPTIONS
Packed with vitamin C and protein but requiring only four ingredients is this tangy 4-Ingredient Peach Ring Smoothie Bowl. It is super fast to make and great for when you need a little boost!
Just 4 ingredients in this Microwave Single-Serve Blueberry Cobbler. You can make this one healthy and high-protein or more indulgent, but either way it’s quick and single-serving.
cHOCOLATE/bREAKFAST dESSERTS
A gooey, rich, and chocolatey cookie that’s great for breakfast or any time of day, this Giant Protein Brownie Cookie is one of my absolute favorites! It’s a craving kicker that’s packed with protein and works in the oven or microwave!
This 5-Minute Single-Serve Cinnamon Roll is so easy, healthy, and satisfying, you’ll want to whip it up every morning (and you totally can!)
Chocolate for breakfast? Yes please! Try this kid-friendly, high-protein Chocolate Breakfast Pudding. Requires just six simple ingredients.
I’m a big fan of breakfast foods that can double as a dessert or literally any meal, and this Easy Single Serving Crepes recipe has a special place in my heart (and stomach). Despite their fancy appearance, these crepes are easy, simple, and can be made high-protein as well.
This 3-ingredient Sticky Bun is another of my all-time favorites. I can’t count the number of times I’ve made it! I keep protein pancake mix in bulk at all times mainly so I can make this.
Similar to my Sticky Bun recipe but in beloved donut form, these 5-Minute Protein Donuts are the perfect addition to your breakfast or protein snack rotation. Low sugar, high protein and high satisfaction!
