Description

These soft and chewy protein cookies are a delicious and nutritious snack. Packed with protein powder, nut butter, and oats, they’re perfect for a post-workout treat or a quick breakfast on the go.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats (blended into oat flour or left whole)
  • 1 scoop (about 1/4 cup) protein powder (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust for sweetness)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (or mashed banana)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the oats (or oat flour), protein powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Combine the Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate large bowl, mix the peanut butter, honey, applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Form the Dough:
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts, if using.
  5. Shape the Cookies:
    • Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and flatten slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will appear slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • You can substitute the peanut butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
  • Use plant-based protein powder and a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water) for a vegan version.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding a bit more honey or a sugar-free sweetener.
