Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 scoop protein powder (vanilla or chocolate flavor)
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 0.25 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan version)
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and protein powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the peanut butter and honey to the dry ingredients. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water or milk at a time until it comes together.
If using dark chocolate chips, chia seeds, or vanilla extract, fold them into the mixture to incorporate.
Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Place the ball onto a parchment-lined tray. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Once all the balls are shaped, gently flatten them with the back of a spoon or your palm to form cookie shapes.
Place the cookies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Once set, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
