Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons protein oats
- 2 tablespoons unflavored protein powder or vanilla protein powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon natural peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon almond milk or milk of choice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-Ins
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unreal chocolate candy gems
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the protein oats, protein powder, baking powder, natural peanut butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix together with a fork until a thick batter forms and all ingredients are fully incorporated. The batter will resemble traditional cookie dough but may be slightly stickier depending on the protein powder used.
- Add-Ins: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and chocolate candy gems, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the dough gently with your palm or the back of the scoop to shape each cookie, as they will not spread much during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes until they are set and golden brown. If the cookie is not fully set after 10 minutes, refrigerate it for 5 minutes to help it firm up rather than baking longer.
Notes
- The batter may vary in stickiness depending on the protein powder brand or type used.
- Pressing the dough before baking helps achieve a cookie shape since these cookies don’t spread like traditional ones.
- Using the fridge to set the cookie after baking will prevent overbaking and maintain a chewy texture.
- You can substitute almond milk with any milk of your choice, including dairy options.
- For a vegan version, use a plant-based protein powder and ensure that the chocolate chips and candies are vegan-friendly.
