These Protein Cookies are a healthy and delicious snack packed with protein. Made with peanut butter, oats, and protein powder, they make for a great post-workout treat or a satisfying snack on the go. Customize them with chocolate chips or your favorite mix-ins for extra flavor!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter for a nut-free option)
  • 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or chocolate, depending on your preference)
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats (or oat flour for a smoother texture)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 large egg (or 1 flax egg for a vegan option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for a sweet touch)

Instructions

  • Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the Dry Ingredients: Add the protein powder and oats to the wet ingredients. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  • If using chocolate chips, fold them into the dough.
  • Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
  • Flatten each ball slightly with your hand or the back of a spoon to form a cookie shape.
  • Chill the Cookies: Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to set. This step is crucial for the cookies to hold their shape.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, the cookies are ready to eat! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

  • Use quality protein powder for the best taste.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey/maple syrup.
  • Feel free to add mix-ins like nuts, dried fruit, or seeds for extra texture and flavor.
