I love peanut butter and jelly, and I really love cookies. So, I figured why not throw the two together and sub the peanut butter for cookie butter and make this COOKIE BUTTER & JELLY PROTEIN MUGCAKE.

If you have never had cookie butter (I love this one from Trader Joe’s),

or Speculoos, or Biscoff spread then you are really missing out. I first fell in love with Speculoos when I went to Belgium last year.

Also, you might remember recognize the Biscoff cookies from when you fly on a plane. A lot of airlines give Biscoff cookies as a snack. Well, essentially cookie butter is crushed up biscoff cookies in a peanut butter texture and it’s amazing.

Anyway, back to the recipe. I used the Cookie Butter flavored protein powder from Xtend.

It is crazy how much this actually tastes like cookie butter. It really enhanced the flavor of this recipe! I also used this protein in my Cookie Butter Protein Pancakes!
