Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 scoop Vanilla protein powder
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
• 0.33 cup Maple syrup
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
• 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, almond flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly to ensure dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If the mixture feels too dry, you can add a tablespoon of almond milk or water at a time until it achieves a scoopable consistency.

Step 5

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 7

Gently flatten the tops of the cookies with the back of a spoon or your fingers to help them bake evenly.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers may still look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy the cookies immediately, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
