Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup oat flour (or ground oats)
- 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips or nuts
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond butter, honey, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. The dough should be thick but pliable. If it’s too dry, add a splash of almond milk.
- Fold in chocolate chips or nuts, if using.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your protein-packed cookies!
Notes
- You can substitute almond butter with peanut butter or another nut butter of choice.
- To make these vegan, use a plant-based protein powder and maple syrup instead of honey.
- Add-ins like dried fruit, seeds, or coconut flakes can boost flavor and texture.
