No Bake Protein Cookies
Description
This No Bake Protein Cookies recipe uses a combination of rolled oats and protein powder as a base, combined with a chocolate-flavored sauce made by heating almond milk, peanut butter, banana or maple syrup, cocoa powder, sea salt, and vanilla. Once mixed, the oatmeal absorbs the chocolate mixture before chilling to firm up. The unbaked cookies have a chewy, moist consistency with the richness of peanut butter and cocoa balanced by natural sweetness from banana or syrup. Shaped by hand or spoonfuls, they are straightforward to prepare and do not require oven baking. These cookies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for longer storage, making them handy for on-demand nutrition.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 1 coop (21 grams) protein powder vanilla or chocolate
- ½ cup peanut butter look for one that's thin/drippy, creamy natural
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 banana or 1/4 cup maple syrup, mashed
- 2 Tablespoons cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ⅛ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Combine oats and protein powder in a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir until there's a nice dusting of protein powder over all the oats.
- Place almond milk, peanut butter, banana or maple syrup, cocoa powder and sea salt in a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often until cocoa powder is completely dissolved and the sauce has thickened. Take the pan off the heat and stir in vanilla.
- Pour peanut butter chocolate mixture over oats/protein powder and mix until all pieces of the oatmeal are covered.
- Place batter in the fridge for 10 minutes to let the batter set up – this step is optional, but the cookies will be cool and much easier to shape if you do it.
- Drop chilled dough by spoonfuls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, using hands to work cookies into desired shape – I made these into little round cookies.
- At this point they're ready to enjoy or you can place them in the fridge if you're serving them later. Store any leftover cookies in the refrigerator for 1 week or in the freezer for longer storage.
Notes
- You can substitute peanut butter with almond butter or other nut or seed butters based on preference.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For longer storage, freeze cookies in an airtight container for up to three months and thaw before eating.
