Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups quick cooking oats
- ⅓ cup vanilla flavored protein powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 egg at room temperature
- ½ cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a bowl, combine the dry ingredients: oats, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set the mixture aside.
- In another bowl, combine the honey and egg, and whisk vigorously until well blended.
- Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract to the bowl with the honey and egg mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Gradually add the oat mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing in batches until the entire mixture is fully incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking tray. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until they are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.
- Once the cookies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes on a cooling rack. This will allow them to firm up slightly.
- Serve the cookies while still warm and enjoy them with a glass of milk.
