Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the eggs, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract together in a large mixing bowl until they are completely combined and creamy. Note: These ingredients are easier to stir together if they are all at room temperature. Use an electric hand mixer if you have one on hand.
- Add in the oats, protein powder, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (the dry ingredients). Mix until combined and a dough forms.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop mounds of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving some room between each mound for the cookies to grow. The cookie dough will remain in the same shape throughout the baking process, so make cookie shapes out of the dough. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are slightly golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool for at least 10 minutes before eating.
Notes
- *I use sugar-free monk fruit sweetener to reduce the carb and sugar count. Regular cane sugar, brown sugar, and coconut sugar work great too!
- For richer, moister cookies, add 3 tablespoons of melted butter or 2 tablespoons of melted coconut oil at the same time as mixing the wet ingredients (step 2). Note that the macros on the cookies will change upon doing so. :)
