A Healthy Funfetti Cake Batter Cookie Recipe?!
Say Whaaaaat?!!!
Yep, it's true. This cookie recipe is all kinds of healthy.
This cake batter protein cookie is way better than the store bought kind - cough cough Lenny and Larry's. Not to mention, it's just way cheaper to make these than buy those cookies too.
Lets face it, $3-4 PER COOKIE adds up fast. And I definitely don't have the bank account to support that addiction.
However, this cookie isn't just rad because it's cheap.
No, no, no my friends.
This cookie is rad because it's...
- Cheap
- Delicous
- Low in calories
- Packs more protein than the store bought kind
- Is easy to make
- And is super quick to make too
There's probably a hundred more reasons, but those 6 came to my head in less than a minute.
So, if you love all things cake batter, but want to be healthy too, I think there's no better option to satisfy both of those requirements other than this cookie. I mean, it only has 150 calories, and over 25g of protein.
How could you not love that?!
By the way, if you like this recipe, you should totally checkout this peanut butter protein cookie too.
