Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt (if peanut butter is unsalted)
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, stir together the rolled oats, protein powder, peanut butter, and maple syrup, plus a pinch of salt if using unsalted peanut butter. Mix for about 1 minute until a thick dough forms.
  2. If adding chocolate chips, fold them into the dough.
  3. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough, roll into balls, press to 1/2-inch thick on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and space them 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and serve.

Notes

The cookies will be soft when hot, but they firm up and get chewier as they cool. If your dough feels too dry, stir in a teaspoon of milk at a time until it holds together.
