Healthy Air Fryer Cookie Recipe
I had a really tough time deciding what to call this recipe. I’ve recently been seeing a version of this Giant Air Fryer Cookie all over TikTok, (opens in a new tab) and just had to make my own variation with chocolate chips, of course! Because who doesn’t want a chocolate chip cookie for breakfast??
I love that these Air Fryer Breakfast Cookies (or snack, or dessert) are full of healthy ingredients, and protein, and perfect for any time of the day. They can also easily be made vegan just by using a vegan protein powder and dairy-free chocolate chips (this is an egg-free recipe)! They’re lightly crispy around the edges, chewy in the middle, and basically healthy protein cookie perfection. Choose from making a single serving in 10 minutes, or batch cook 4 servings to have throughout the week. Either way, I know you’ll love this easy, no-fuss treat!
