  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 14 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten free rolled oats
  • 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (about 1/4 cup)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 tsp sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup monk fruit syrup (or honey/maple syrup as alternative)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
  • 1/2 cup + 1 tbsp all natural peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and chocolate protein powder. Stir well until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
  2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine almond milk, peanut butter, syrup, vanilla extract, sea salt, and cocoa powder. Stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the warm wet mixture over the dry oats and protein powder mixture. Stir thoroughly with a spoon to evenly incorporate all ingredients.
  4. Chill the Batter: Transfer the combined mixture to the refrigerator and chill for 10 minutes. This helps the batter firm up for better cookie texture.
  5. Shape the Cookies: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spoon dollops of the chilled batter onto the sheet and shape each into your desired cookie size and shape using your hands or a spoon.
  6. Set the Cookies: Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow the cookies to firm up and maintain their shape before serving.
  7. Store Leftovers: Store any remaining cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and maintain their texture.
