Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3 tbsp vanilla protein powder
- ½ cup smooth peanut butter unsalted, unsweetened
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Stir rolled oats and protein powder together.
- Add peanut butter, almond milk, maple syrup, cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt to a saucepan. Heat it over low-medium heat and stir continuously until the cocoa dissolves and the sauce thickens up. Once it's ready, take it off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the cooked sauce over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well combined.
- Place your cookie dough straight into the fridge for 10 minutes to let it set.
- Form cookies out of the dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Serve them right away or store them in the fridge.
