Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons protein oats
- 2 tablespoons unflavored protein powder or vanilla protein powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients
- 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: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for 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. Use a fork to mix thoroughly until a thick, sticky batter forms, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated. The batter will resemble traditional cookie dough but may be slightly stickier depending on the protein powder used.
- Add Mix-ins: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and unreal chocolate candy gems evenly into the batter to distribute the sweet, crunchy elements throughout.
- Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop, place scoops of dough onto the prepared cookie sheet. Press down lightly with your palm or the back of the scoop to form a flatter cookie shape, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookie for 8 to 10 minutes until it is set and golden brown. If the cookie isn’t fully set when removed from the oven, instead of extending baking time beyond 10 minutes, place it in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to help it firm up.
Notes
- The texture of the cookie dough will vary based on the protein powder used; some may result in a stickier batter.
- Pressing the cookie dough flat before baking ensures a cookie shape since they don’t spread much.
- Chilling the cookie if underbaked helps firm it up without drying it out.
- This recipe is perfect for individual serving or portion control.
- Feel free to substitute almond milk with any other milk alternative or dairy milk.
