Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop protein powder (chocolate or vanilla)
- 0.5 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 0.3 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 pinch flaky sea salt (optional for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and protein powder. Stir until well mixed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, honey, and almond milk. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly combined into a thick dough. If the mixture is too dry, add another tablespoon of almond milk as needed.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, if using.
Scoop out portions of the dough (about 2 tablespoons each) and roll them into balls or flatten slightly to form cookie shapes. Place them on a parchment-lined tray or plate.
Sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt, if desired.
Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
