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
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and chocolate protein powder. Stir well until the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Store Leftovers: Store any remaining cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and maintain their texture.
