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)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, cocoa powder, and protein powder. Stir until well mixed.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, if using.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt, if desired.
Step 8
Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
