Flourless Chocolate Almond Butter Protein Cookies

When you're deep in the newborn days, finding something simple and satisfying to snack on can feel like a small miracle. That’s exactly why we love these Flourless Chocolate Almond Butter Protein Cookies, a favorite from our lactation cookbook, Eat to Feed.

These cookies come together with just a handful of pantry ingredients, no flour needed, and they’re packed with protein from our Mama Power Protein Powder, healthy fats, and just enough sweetness to lift your spirits (especially during those middle-of-the-night feeds).

Almond butter provides nourishing fats and vitamin E. But mostly—they’re just really good. Soft, chewy, and incredibly satisfying. We like to keep a stash in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go bite between nursing sessions or naps.

Whether you're postpartum or just craving something nourishing and homemade, this recipe is one of our all-time favorites and one that we come back to again and again.

You can find the original recipe in Eat to Feed cookbook, written by our founder, Eliza Larson, during her own postpartum journey. It's filled with delicious, functional recipes made to support new motherhood with ease and love.
