A huge, no‑bake cookie that’s way better than store‑bought protein cookies—more protein, fewer sketchy ingredients, and you can make it in less time than driving to the store.
This one uses just three main ingredients plus water, and delivers about 30 g of protein per cookie. It’s also vegan, paleo, gluten‑free, and dairy‑free, so it fits a lot of clean‑eating lifestyles.
Note on the protein: this recipe is built around Bethany’s Pantry Digestive Support Protein. It’s a gut‑friendly, plant‑based protein blend developed to support digestion, with no artificial sweeteners, flavors, gums, or fillers.
Ingredients
-
Red cocoa powder
-
Bethany’s Pantry Digestive Support Protein – Cocoa
-
Organic pumpkin puree
-
Water
-
Optional: chocolate chips or non‑toxic sprinkles for topping
Directions
In a bowl, combine red cocoa powder and Digestive Support Protein.
Add pumpkin puree and mix until the texture turns into a dry crumble.
Pour in ¼ cup water and stir until the mixture forms a pliable, play‑dough‑like dough. If too dry: add a splash more water.
Shape into one giant cookie.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or longer) to firm up.
Optional: press chocolate chips or sprinkles into the top. Serve chilled.

Recipe Note
Texture tip: chilling is key. The cookie firms up nicely so it holds shape, especially if you add chips or sprinkles.
Optional add‑ins: a few extra chips, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for contrast—just remember add‑ins can change macros slightly.
High‑protein focus: this cookie is built to deliver a serious protein hit with minimal ingredients, making it a strong alternative to store cookies that often have more sugar, more calories, and less protein.
Storage: keep in the fridge for up to several days, or freeze for longer. Slice from the freezer as needed.
