Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whey protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup milk (or almond milk for more protein)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat the egg into the creamed mixture, then add the vanilla extract and milk, mixing until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the chopped nuts and raisins or chocolate chips, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, enjoy these high-protein oat cookies as a perfect snack or treat.
