Quick and Tasty Chocolate Protein Kodiak Cookies
These Chocolate Kodiak Cake cookies only have 2 ingredients, 20 Calories and 2 grams of protein!
Why I love these Kodiak Cookies!
I’ve got another low calorie cookie recipe coming at you today! This is from my aunt who is so great at experimenting in the kitchen with healthier options for treats! I tried these cookies after she sent me the recipe, and they are perfect! Not too sweet, but not flavorless either. They are just right! (for a chocolate smoothie, check out this recipe!)
If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll know that I LOVE single serving treats. I have a hard time not snacking away or binge eating 5 cookies all at once. With this recipe for Kodiak cookies, you could make the full batch of 12, or you could halve the recipe and get 6. And then even if you ate all 6 cookies, it would still be less than 120 calories!
AND each cookie has 19 calories, 2 g protein, 3 g carbs and 0 fat! Definitely my kind of treat!
How to Make Kodiak Cookies
For this recipe you only need 2 ingredients, 3 if you count the zero calorie sweetener! Isn’t that incredible?
You just need to grab:
- Kodiak Power Cakes mix
- Greek Yogurt
- and Zero Calorie Sweetener
Because the cake mix already has most of the ingredients and flavor, you just need the greek yogurt to help bind it all together. And the sweetener makes it taste more like a dessert.
Once all your ingredients are combined just throw them in the oven for a couple minutes and you will have fresh, hot Kodiak cookies.
Not only is this one of the simplest cookie recipes I’ve ever made, but it’s one of the lowest calorie ones too. It doesn’t get better than that!

So, if you’re counting calories, and still need a treat- try this one!
I wanted to like these, but they just tasted terrible – a weird Greek yogurt twangy after taste, no chocolate taste and squishy and rubbery… I even doted the tops with lilys sugar free chocolate chips. I am not picky – I eat anything – I have lived all over the world and like to try new things. This was a waste of expensive Kodiak mix. It definitely didn’t fix the chocolate cravings.
Could you make this with a non-dairy yogurt?
Hi Haley, I don’t think it would turn out the same with non-dairy yogurt.
What’s the best way to store these tasty treats? Fridge b/c of the yogurt?
After they are cooked, I just leave them in an air tight container on the counter.
It sounds simple but fun to make – and to eat!:)
This is so simple and the cookies look delicious. I’m making this for sure. Thanks!
Love these healthy cookies!
This is the perfect protein-packed snack! Going to make these for our next camping trip!
Can you use regular Kodak mix and add Hershey’s natural cocoa?
I bet you could!! that’s a fabulous idea.
What would be the ratio if using cocoa powder?
I wouldn’t change anything. I would just add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder to the full batch!
I was wondering the same. Let me know if you try it
That’s what I was wondering. How much cocoa powder would you use??
I would just start with 1 tablespoon!
Loved these!
Amazing that these are only 20 calories!!!
Only 19 calories? Wow! This was crazy delicious!
These cookies are so easy to make and so delicious! I love that they are so low in calories too!
Perfect!
Oat flour wouldn’t have the same ability to rise- you might just get a dense nugget, rather than have it be more “cakier”
What can you substitute for the cake mix? We don’t have this in Australia!
It’s just pancake mix with some protein. Do you have any pancake mix that has protein powder in it?
I can’t believe there’s this much yumminess with only 20 calories! SO worth it.
Would it taste ok without the squirts of sweetener?
Hi, these sound great for my kiddos. What is the purpose of the Xanthum gum?
I like to keep my ingredients pure and natural, and I’ve heard of Xanthum gum, but I’m not sure of it’s purpose.
Also, do these taste “eggy”?
Thank you!
I don’t think there is Xanthum gum in this recipe, or kodiak mix. Is it here somewhere?
If you like dark chocolate foods, yes! You don’t need it.
Great with peanut butter on top!
