  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 10-12 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 100g (1 cup) oat flour (or blended oats)
  • 50g (½ cup) vanilla or chocolate protein powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 60ml (¼ cup) unsweetened almond milk

Mix-ins (Optional):

  • 50g (¼ cup) dark chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp chopped nuts or seeds
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven – Set your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, protein powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients – In another bowl, mix nut butter, honey (or maple syrup), egg, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth.
  4. Form the Dough – Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a splash of almond milk.
  5. Add Mix-ins – Fold in chocolate chips, nuts, or any optional mix-ins.
  6. Shape the Cookies – Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions, roll them into balls, and place them on the baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your palm.
  7. Bake – Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool and Enjoy – Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For Extra Softness: Use a mashed banana or unsweetened applesauce instead of honey.
  • For More Protein: Add 1 tbsp of Greek yogurt to the dough.
  • For a Vegan Option: Use plant-based protein powder and a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water).
  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
