  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (120g) oat flour (or blended oats)
  • ½ cup (50g) vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Wet Ingredients:

  • ½ cup (125g) almond butter (or peanut butter)
  • ¼ cup (60ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg (or flaxseed egg for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) almond milk

Optional Mix-ins:

  • ¼ cup (40g) dark chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup (30g) chopped walnuts or almonds
  • ¼ cup (40g) raisins or dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  3. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and egg until smooth.

  4. Add dry to wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined. Slowly mix in the almond milk to create a dough.

  5. Fold in mix-ins: Stir in chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit if using.

  6. Scoop and shape: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of dough onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly.

  7. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.

  8. Cool and enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For a softer cookie: Use 2 tablespoons of applesauce instead of almond milk.
  • For a crunchier texture: Bake for an extra 2 minutes.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Make it vegan: Replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water).
  • Customize it: Try different protein powder flavors or add shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
