Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup protein powder
- ¼ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats and protein powder, stirring until evenly distributed.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter for 20-30 seconds to soften it, making it easier to mix.
- Pour the maple syrup into the softened peanut butter and mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
- Add the peanut butter and maple syrup mixture to the oats and protein powder, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop equal-sized portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Gently press down on each cookie to flatten and shape them into uniform rounds.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the cookies to set and firm up.
- Remove from refrigerator and let cookies sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
- Store remaining cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better cookie consistency.
- Choose a high-quality protein powder that complements the peanut butter flavor.
- For a softer texture, let the cookies sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
- Experiment with different protein powder flavors like vanilla or chocolate for variety.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add a little extra maple syrup or a splash of milk.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes and professional-looking results.
- Store cookies in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their shape.
- For extra decadence, drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top before chilling.
- These cookies are perfect for meal prep and can be made in advance for quick snacks.
- If you're watching calories, use natural peanut butter and sugar-free chocolate chips.
