Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter (creamy, unsweetened)
- 1 scoop protein powder (chocolate flavor)
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 0.333 cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.333 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Add the protein powder, rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until a thick dough forms.
Step 4
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough into 12 evenly sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 6
Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers to your desired thickness, as these cookies won't spread much during baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set. Be careful not to overbake; the cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy! Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for a longer shelf life.
