My days of chalky protein bars are over. I just discovered a cookie that tastes like a fancy pastry while packing three times the protein of an egg. Maison Methodologie has created a line of good-for-you artisanal treats so indulgent they belong in a French patisserie.
I’m very conscious of my protein intake, especially as a busy mom who doesn’t always have time to grill up a chicken breast or spend hours meal-prepping for the week. Most quick-protein choices on the market seem to be overly dense, tasteless, or packed with additives like refined sugar. Recently I decided I was done with those brick-like bars and bland shakes. Where was the protein hit made with real food that actually tasted good? Did such a thing exist?
Enter Maison Methodologie, the new line of artisanal cookies from the creator of Methodology. With 16-20 grams of protein, high-quality ingredients, and a swoon-worthy taste, these cookies are my new go-to for dessert, snacks, even breakfast. They don’t cause bloat, blood-sugar spikes or any of the other issues I usually associate with baked goods. That’s because they contain flour made with Einkorn wheat, an ancient grain still used by the best bakeries in Europe. It’s easier to digest than mainstream wheat and adds a nice nutty flavor and a velvety texture. It’s also more nutritious, containing more potassium, protein and B6 than traditional wheat. But it’s not just the wheat that makes these cookies so special. Every ingredient is of the highest quality, with no fillers or unpronounceable additives.
- Organic Einkorn wheat
- Organic pastured eggs
- French grass-fed butter
- Valrhona French chocolate
These ingredients ensure that these treats are more nutritious than regular cookies, making them perfect as a meal-replacement or on-the-go snack.
Compared to regular cookies, they contain:
- 500% more protein
- 300% more fiber
- 33% less added sugar
- 20% fewer calories
I’ve noticed that these cookies keep me full for a good part of the day. The fiber and protein content banish my cravings so it’s easier to make healthy choices at my meals. I used to skip breakfast or have a hurried piece of toast in the mornings. Now, I often treat myself to Maison Methodologie before the kids wake up.This simple ritual has become a tiny act of self care. One Dubai Pistachio cookie, placed on a flowered china plate and enjoyed with a latte in the garden? Heaven.
Maison Methodologie cookies are the perfect gifts for almost any occasion. With their whimsical packaging, they’re ideal for birthdays, Mother’s Day and everything in between. The Dozen Parisian Cookie Box (which looks like an adorable vintage French building) is a great choice for larger gatherings like baby showers or graduation parties. The Three Cookie Tin is nice for gifting to friends and family. I bought one for myself and kept the adorable, mint-green tin as bookshelf decoration long after the cookies were gone.
I’m extra excited because the company just dropped a new line of candy bar-inspired flavors. My favorite so far is the Snickers-style cookie with roasted peanuts, salted caramel and creamy milk chocolate. Next on deck to try is the Reese’s peanut butter-inspired flavor, as well as the Quadruple Chocolate which contains a decadent-looking ganache filling. Are you drooling yet? I know I am.
To all the ladies out there just trying to meet nutrition goals and treat yourselves at the same time, this company sees you. If you’re ready for a wholesome indulgence that’s as pretty as it is protein-packed, give Maison Methodologie a try and discover the best baking this side of Paris.
